The Taiwan Foundation for Democracy (TFD; Chinese: 財團法人臺灣民主基金會; pinyin: Cáituán Fǎrén Táiwān Mínzhǔ Jījīnhuì) is a non-profit organisation headquartered in Taipei. Originally proposed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of China, the foundation's purpose is to promote democracy around the world.[2] The Foundation was established in June 2003 as a non-partisan, non-profit organization.[3]
The foundation was one of the largest donors to the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation,[4] donating US$1 million towards the construction of the Victims of Communism Memorial in Washington, DC.[5]
On November 9, 2009 the TFD unveiled a segment of the Berlin Wall to remark the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall as a symbol for the quest for global democracy.[6]
