Freedom House is a small but influential organization with bases in Washington and New York. In 2006 it was reported to have more than 120 offices around the world and an annual budget of US$19 million<a href="http://powerbase.info/index.php/Freedom_House#cite_note-2" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">[2]</a>. A high percentage of its funding is reported to come from the State Department (an average of 95% between 2000 and 2003) and it is described as having a list of trustees 'consisting of a Who's Who of neoconservatives from government, business, academia, labor, and the press'<a href="http://powerbase.info/index.php/Freedom_House#cite_note-3" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">[3]</a>

According to the website of the Mudd Manuscript Library:

<dd style=" line-height: 1.5em; margin-left: 1.6em; margin-bottom: 0.1em; margin-right: 0px;">Freedom House was conceived in 1941 during a discussion between <a href="http://powerbase.info/index.php/Herbert_Agar" title="Herbert Agar" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Herbert</a> and <a href="http://powerbase.info/index.php?title=Eleanor_Agar&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Eleanor Agar (page does not exist)" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(165, 88, 88); background: none;">Eleanor Agar</a>, <a href="http://powerbase.info/index.php/Dorothy_Thompson" title="Dorothy Thompson" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Dorothy Thompson</a>, <a href="http://powerbase.info/index.php?title=George_Field&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="George Field (page does not exist)" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(165, 88, 88); background: none;">George Field</a> and<a href="http://powerbase.info/index.php/Ulric_Bell" title="Ulric Bell" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Ulric Bell</a>, on how to merge several local organizations that were advocating an end to United States isolationism. Field offered a simple solution: house all the organizations in one building. A physical merger would take place, but administratively the organizations would remain separate. Hence on October 31, 1941 Freedom House was officially incorporated in the state of New York as a non-partisan democratic challenge to the Braunhaus in Munich, a center for Nazi propaganda.<a href="http://powerbase.info/index.php/Freedom_House#cite_note-Mudd-5" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">[5]</a></dd>

From the outset, Freedom House drew upon the resources of its founders. <a href="http://powerbase.info/index.php?title=George_Field&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="George Field (page does not exist)" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(165, 88, 88); background: none;">George Field</a> headed the New York chapter of the<a href="http://powerbase.info/index.php/Committee_to_Defend_America_by_Aiding_the_Allies" title="Committee to Defend America by Aiding the Allies" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Committee to Defend America by Aiding the Allies</a>, Herbert Agar was active in <a href="http://powerbase.info/index.php?title=Fight_for_Freedom&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Fight for Freedom (page does not exist)" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(165, 88, 88); background: none;">Fight for Freedom</a>, Inc., while <a href="http://powerbase.info/index.php/Dorothy_Thompson" title="Dorothy Thompson" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Dorothy Thompson</a> was the founder of <a href="http://powerbase.info/index.php?title=Ring_of_Freedom&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Ring of Freedom (page does not exist)" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(165, 88, 88); background: none;">Ring of Freedom</a>, all of whom served on the original Freedom House Board of Directors. Freedom House acquired a significant number of members when these organizations merged with it administratively in 1942.<a href="http://powerbase.info/index.php/Freedom_House#cite_note-Mudd-5" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">[5]</a>
