Archewell Rebrands as Archewell Philanthropies, Confirms Staff Redundancies in Shift to Fiscal Sponsor Model

The Sussexes say the new structure reduces overhead by funding partner-led projects.

Overview

  • An official spokesperson said moving to a philanthropic fiscal-sponsor model makes some redundancies inevitable, particularly in junior administrative roles.
  • Reports from multiple outlets say three employees were let go during the reorganization, with Page Six adding that only James Holt and Shauna Nep remain in senior roles.
  • Public filings and press reporting for 2024 show $5.1 million in expenses, $2.1 million in donations, and about $1.25 million in grants disbursed.
  • California’s Department of Justice lists the organization as current and in good standing following a brief delinquency notice earlier in 2024.
  • The rebrand at the five-year mark positions Archewell to steer priorities and partnerships while an established 501(c)(3) handles compliance, finances, and global grantmaking.
