Over the past 40 years, NEO Philanthropy has 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. All of these are customized programs that allow our donors to minimize their administrative costs in order to maximize their impact. They also get to leverage the expertise and depth of NEO’s senior staff, as well as gain access and benefit from our extensive networks in the philanthropic and grantee communities.

In the DS department, the Portfolio Coordinator supports a team of portfolio managers who in turn support 40+ erse projects within the DS department.
