National Ethnic Coalition of Organizations
NECO sponsors the Ellis Island Medals of Honor which are presented annually to American citizens who have distinguished themselves within their own ethnic groups while exemplifying the values of the American way of life.
Past Medalists include six U.S. Presidents, one foreign President, Nobel Prize winners and leaders of industry, education, the arts, sports and government. And, of course, everyday Americans who have made freedom, liberty and compassion a part of their life's work.
In addition to sponsoring the Ellis Island Medals of Honor, NECO supports several scholarship and educational programs and provides the underwriting for legal services to assist immigrants seeking citizenship. In addition, NECO remains committed to the restoration and maintenance of Ellis Island. NECO has recently financed a major rehabilitation project and is currently working with the National Parks Service to identify new areas that need public support.
NECO is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and all donations are 100% tax deductible. Your generous support is needed and appreciated.
