The Taiwan Foundation for Democracy (TFD; ) is a non-partisan non-profit organisation headquartered in Taipei. The foundation, established in June 2003, is both initiated and funded by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of China. Its stated purpose is to "promote democracy around the world".

History

TFD headquarters in [[Daan District, Taipei

TFD was one of the largest donors to the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation, donating US$1 million towards the construction of the Victims of Communism Memorial in Washington, DC.

On 9 November 2009, TFD unveiled a segment of the Berlin Wall to mark the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall as a symbol of the quest for global democracy.

On 3 August 2022, TFD was sanctioned by the Taiwan Affairs Office for supporting Taiwanese independence as a "diehard "Taiwan independence" separatist" organization.
