Fiscal Sponsorship

What is a Fiscal Sponsor?

A Fiscal Sponsor is a non-profit organization with 501(c)(3) tax exempt status from the Internal Revenue Service that acts as a guardian of grants and donations for a Project or Organization that does not have 501(c)(3) designation.  One of the most common uses of fiscal sponsorship is to enable a project to apply for grants and solicit tax-deductible contributions through the fiscal sponsor.
