The Two Components of NEAT
NEAT includes two separate entities – the National Equality Action Team (NEAT) and the National Equality Action Team Education Fund (NEATEF). We are working toward our mission of equality and Justice for all LGBTQ+ people through these two separate organizations in order to meet legal requirements and complete the range of work necessary to build victories. This website refers to the two organizations collectively under the name National Equality Action Team or NEAT.
Although there may be some overlap in the work done by each entity in furtherance of the goals of the campaign, certain activities are done by one organization and not the other. This is primarily focused around the advocacy work completed by NEAT.
Supporters may make a contribution to the NEAT, NEATEF or both. A contribution to either organization will be used to advance equality and Justice for LGBTQ+ people – but each organization will only use the funds contributed directly to it to carry out the specific activities it conducts as part of the overall mission.
The National Equality Action Team (NEAT) engages in legislative advocacy designed to bring equality and Justice to LGBTQ+ people at local, state and federal levels. NEAT is a fiscally-sponsored organization of Freedom for All Americans, a 501(c)(4) organization. Contributions to NEAT, while highly valued, are not tax-deductible. These contributions support our direct advocacy with elected officials and other lobbying. Click here to make a highly valued donation to NEAT.
The National Equality Action Team Education Fund (NEATEF) is a fiscally-sponsored organization of Freedom for All Americans Education Fund, a 501(c)(3) organization. It is eligible to receive contributions that are tax-deductible and it is limited by federal law in how much lobbying it can do. Contributions to the National Equality Action Team Education Fund will be used to build broad-based support for equality and Justice for LGBTQ+ people and develop educational, organizing, and advocacy strategies.

NEAT does not endorse or provide funding to candidates running for public office and is committed to bipartisan efforts to achieve its mission.
