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 seven U.S. Presidents, three world leaders, two Nobel Prize winners and countless leaders of industry, education, the arts, sports and government. Of course, we continue to recognize 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 to our nation's youth. They also provide underwriting for legal services to assist legal 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.
