Overview
Mission
NeighborShare partners with local nonprofits across the country to meet households pivotal needs like an unexpected car repair, a medical bill, a job certification, etc. that would otherwise go unmet.
What it reported doing in 2025
NeighborShare connects neighbors in need with people who want to help-quickly, directly, and with trust. Vetted, local nonprofit partners identify pivotal, time-sensitive needs like a $350 car repair to keep a parent employed, a $150 certification fee to secure a better job, or $400 to help someone safely leave an abusive situation. These needs are uploaded to NeighborShares platform, where donors fulfill them in real time. By removing red tape and channeling support directly to families, NeighborShare prevents small, unmet needs from becoming crises. Every contribution reaches the individual or family directly and provides immediate, stabilizing impact. Since its inception, NeighborShare has distributed over $1.6 million to more than 15,700 neighbors nationwide, including $519,320 in FY2025 alone.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 95% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Grant intermediary. The nonprofit sent 65% of its reported program spending out as grants.
- Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
