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. The Foundation was established in June 2003 as a non-partisan, non-profit organization.
The foundation 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 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.
