Freedom House is a registered NGO operating out of the United States of America and funded in 1941.
Each year, they publish the Freedom in the world report[1] which looks at the "freedom status" of some 210 countries and territories. The methodology for this map is based on liberal and libertarian ideals, such as a multiparty republic scoring more 'freedom' points over a one-party dictatorship of the proletariat.[2] Additionally, the organization considers the free market and otherwise lack of regulations in the economy to be an indicator of freedom as well.[3]
Influence Watch noted that most of the funding to Freedom House comes from the US government. In 2018, $35 million of the $40 million the organization received came from federal grants. Freedom House admits that most of its funding comes from United States Agency for International Development and the National Endowment for Democracy, two CIA cutout organizations.[4]
In 2024, Switzerland-based Proton AG, the encrypted email and VPN provider, started a user-funded fundraiser for 10 recipients, one of which was Freedom House.[5]
