Launched in 1983 as Public Interest Projects, a 501(c)(3) public charity, NEO Philanthropy is a New York based national leader in innovative philanthropic solutions. We lead large-scale collaborative grantmaking funds on a range of social justice issues and develop organization and field-focused capacity building initiatives. NEO offers fiscal sponsorship services to projects and affinity groups working in the social justice arena that do not have 501(c) (3) tax-exempt status. Fiscal sponsorship broadens the funding avenues that a project can pursue, since nonprofit status is required for funding by most foundations, corporations, and government agencies. NEO has also helped all types of donors maximize their resources, support work they could not do on their own and gain access to strategic and cutting-edge advice around issues and philanthropic practice. NEO offers donors a range of ways to work with us – through donor advised funds, pooled funds, specialized grant programs and initiatives.
These customized programs allow our donors to minimize their administrative costs to maximize their impact. NEO currently hosts over 60 fiscal and donor sponsored projects.
