Have you ever heard of NEO Philanthropy? They’re a left-wing group that has been around for more than 40 years. NEO wants folks to believe it is a partnership between “changemakers and funders.” They claim to provide “resources to groups accelerating change.” Race, gender and DEI are huge for them, but guns are a problem.
An incredible website database has outed NEO Philanthropy’s actual duties, and those of thousands of other similar groups. NEO, it turns out, is nothing more than a middleman. It receives money and funnels some of it to Everytown for Gun Safety as well as other leftwing, anti-gun groups.
The website database is called DataRepublican.com, and it will forever change the way nonprofits handle their funding, especially those on the left.
Closer look
“Have you ever wondered where the money goes? Billions of dollars are spent on government grants, charities, and other organizations every year,” the DataRepublican.com website states. “We’re connecting the dots between government grants, charities, and drawing connections to expose where the money flows.”
The site has already garnered high praise.
“Worth following @datarepublican,” said Elon Musk.
“Love your insights! You’re a must follow on this platform,” said Charlie Kirk.
It has already proven incredibly useful. On Wednesday, pro-gun official Hannah Hill “exposed taxpayer money flowing to Bloomberg gun control orgs.”
The next day, she used the website to link USAID funds that went to Everytown, Giffords and more gun-control organizations.
“It looks damning at first blush—we’re digging deeper. Stay tuned,” Hill said in a tweet.
Her findings show massive contributions to Everytown, which include: $245,000 from the Board of Trustees of the Leland, $150,000 from the Tides Center, $12,000 from Civicus World Alliance, $6,748,000 from Fidelity Investments Charitable Gift Fund, $300,000 from Kaiser Foundation Hospitals and much more.
Most of the major donations were paid straight to NEO Philanthropy and similar groups, who then passed some of the cash on to Everytown.
How this now public data will affect Everytown is not yet known, but none of the anti-gun nonprofits have ever wanted their funding data to be made public.
Bloomberg did not respond to emails seeking comments about their funding.
Takeaways
DataRepublican.com offers an officer search, federal grant search, charity funding and voter turnout analysis, but its charity graphs are simply stunning. They follow the money better than anything else that’s ever been seen before.
DataRepublican.com is incredibly easy to use. It took just minutes to create graphs to see how the Brady Center, the March for Our Lives Foundation, the Sandy Hook Promise Foundation, Everytown for Gun Safety and Giffords were funded.
DataRepublican.com has already become a relied upon tool for the gun community.

that these prog organizations don’t want the public to know where their funds comes from speaks volumes.
and the extent of the money laundering, especially taxpayer funds in the form of government grants going to them to fight against our Constitutional Rights is tyrannical and appalling.
if they are such grass roots why not just be open and transparent?
what do they have to hide? obviously more than they want.
BRILLIANT!!!
I bet it NEVER even makes the back pages of the New York Times, CNN, MSN, the Economist, or any big city legacy media (print, boob tube, or social media). Just a quick scan it it appears tax payer assist to this worthy (joke) cause could top $300,000,000 in 2024. I wonder what prior years (USAID and administrations) diverted to the anti-2nd amendment ’cause’?
We are nowhere near the end of the discovery of how deep the corruption went. Expect to see how well-funded the cabal of lies was.
Thieves. Lying thieves.
Since January 20 I can feel a change in the air. DJT is actually moving forward on his promise to drain the swamp. Let’s pray he avoids the slings and arrows of the outrageous left long enough to finish the job.
No tax payer money or federal grants should be given to any of these corrupt organizations that funnel it to anti American gun grabbers or their unconstitutional partners in crime .
shows all the criminal activity done against us by goobers, (defiantly not our government ,they are attacking USus)
And all these years they wanted us to believe that they were all funded by the little people or the 75 percent of Americans that O”Bidumb claimed don’t want guns. Now we see the truth, the 75 percent is a lie and the proof of that is the fact that they are really funded by corporations and the government in the form of grants funneled to anti gun groups while the real Americans fund with their own money the GOA, NRA, OFF and other 2nd amendment support groups. I think they use it as another tool to bleed us dry… Read more »
Democrats are fighting harder against the DOGE uncovering of all their theft, deception, and fraud more than they did to keep their slaves back 160 years ago.
It should be noted that moneys from Fidelity Investments Charitable Gift Fund, Schwab Charitable Fund, and the like are not contributions from those companies. These charitable funds, which also send money to SAF, GOA, FPC, CPRC, are merely vehicles for their customers to make contributions of after-tax dollars to 501(c)(3) organizations.
