The Alliance of Democracies Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to the advancement of democracy and free markets across the globe.

Who we are

The Alliance of Democracies Foundation is a non-profit organization founded in 2017 by Anders Fogh Rasmussen, the former NATO Secretary General and former Prime Minister of Denmark. 

Through our innovative programming and our flagship event, The Copenhagen Democracy Summit, we aim to become the world’s leading “megaphone” for the cause of democracy.

Why we fight for democracy

As we can see in the latest Democracy Perception Index 2024 results, democracy has been in decline globally for the past 18 years. A growing number of people are disenchanted with the state of democracy. However, global faith in democracy has remained consistently high, with 85% saying it is important to have democracy in their country.

We seek to strengthen the world’s democracies. Our overarching purpose is to revitalize democracies and bring them together in an alliance for peace, prosperity, and the advancement of democracy worldwide.
