Foundation for Defense of Democracies

The Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD) is a nonpartisan research institute based in Washington, DC, focused on national security and foreign policy analysis. Established shortly after the 9/11 attacks, FDD aims to counter threats to U.S. and global security through research, policy advocacy, and collaboration with various stakeholders. The organization does not accept donations from foreign governments and provides bipartisan policy recommendations to U.S. administrations. FDD produces open-source reports on topics such as cybersecurity, economic sanctions, and counterterrorism, with a particular emphasis on actionable intelligence regarding Iran, China, and Russia. It also develops legislative recommendations that have influenced U.S. strategy, especially in areas like Iran sanctions and Middle East security. FDD operates several centers of expertise, including those focused on military strategy, economic power, and cybersecurity. The organization engages with U.S. government agencies, congressional offices, and international allies to promote its findings and recommendations.
