According to Bridgespan’s 2025 report, The Philanthropic Collaborative Landscape, funder collaboratives continue to expand. These collaboratives—often housed at nonprofit intermediaries—pool resources from multiple philanthropic sources, providing major benefits for donors interested in expanding their philanthropic contributions across issue areas and state and local organizations. Formed in 1983, NEO Philanthropy (NEO) is one such funder intermediary and has long supported two of the Corporation’s collaborative funds—the Four Freedoms Fund, which supports immigrant integration in the United States, and the State Infrastructure Fund, which supports nonpartisan voter engagement at the state and local level. With Corporation support, NEO Philanthropy will enhance its own internal capacities for legal, communications, digital security, and overall safety protocols.

Disagree Better is a nonprofit initiative that originated as a twelve-month campaign under the National Governors Association (NGA), where twenty-three bipartisan U.S. Governors publicly modeled constructive dialogue to demonstrate civil disagreement across ideological lines. The initiative garnered substantial national attention, reaching millions through earned media and public events, and catalyzed engagement from 225 elected officials across levels of government. Its success revealed both a public appetite for cross-partisan leadership and the viability of top-down strategies for addressing polarization. With its incorporation as an independent 501(c)(3) in June 2024, Disagree Better is now positioned to scale its proven approach through coordinated national awareness campaigns, cross-sector partnerships, and evidence-informed messaging. With Corporation support, Disagree Better will design and deploy four national advertising campaigns featuring political, cultural, and business leaders. Each campaign will aim to reach more than eighty percent of adults in selected markets. Stanford University will continue to advise on message development and assess campaign impact through behavioral research and survey experiments

Young people from low-income backgrounds in the United States are often faced with two paths after high school – either incur debt for a four-year degree with no guarantee of a high-mobility job or settle for a low-wage job with minimal career advancement. Amid the pressing need for healthcare professionals and high-quality pathways into this profession, Propel America provides an alternative pathway for young adults to continue their education while also moving towards employment in a stable career in healthcare. Propel operates in five regions across the country (Baton Rouge, Camden, Los Angeles, Newark, and Philadelphia), works with seven healthcare systems, and provides tuition-free training for three medical pathways. Through strategic partnerships with higher education institutions and employers, Propel ensures that their fellows receive training that aligns with industry needs and leads to successful career placements. On average, 70 percent of fellows are hired into a healthcare career, they experience a 30 percent wage increase once employed, and 74 percent persist in their career, far outpacing industry benchmarks. General support of Propel will enable them to deepen their work with regional partners and increase their reach to 1,600 fellows per year.

Journalism plays a vital role in holding power to account and preserving democratic institutions. In the United States, there is a growing need for independent, nonpartisan investigative reporting, work that cuts through political noise, reaches people across the political spectrum, and gives them facts they need to push for accountability. ProPublica, founded in 2008, is a nonprofit newsroom committed to this mission, and it is now the largest investigative news organization in the country focused solely on serving the public interest. They take on in-depth investigations that many outlets shy away from; stories that may be too complex, costly, or risky for others to pursue. At a time when misinformation is widespread and public trust is fading, ProPublica’s work is more essential than ever.
