Dude the source is fine. It has one arm in the United States. Runs as a non-profit and only takes 30% of funding from any one source. Are you saying anything that touches the US isn't legitimate?

In 1991, one of the founders of NED, Allen Weinstein, stated that much of NED’s work involves doing what the CIA used to do. Some, in fact, refer to NED as the “second CIA.”

Just have to scratch the surface a little bit to see the imperialist connection here. I'd implore you to not just take the surface-level info from NGOs without understanding the interests they serve.

I'm saying that the US Empire has a long history of trying to manufacture consent to overturn governments in Latin America by funding NGOs and setting them up, training them, etc. It doesn't matter if they only take 30% funding from any one source, that has no bearing on their purpose as an org, which is to "ensure democracy" by concocting a narrative that fits alongside the US Empire "bringing democracy" to any country that dares to nationalize its resources or otherwise go against US Imperialism.
