Fiscal Sponsorship
Fiscal sponsorship is a contractual arrangement between a nonprofit organization and a project or group that shares a similar mission. The nonprofit, or fiscal sponsor, gives the project its 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status and other administrative benefits, allowing it to receive tax-deductible donations and grants that it might not otherwise be able to. In exchange, the fiscal sponsor may charge a fee, such as a percentage of the project's revenue, or provide back office services. The fiscal sponsor is also responsible for ensuring that the project's activities are charitable in nature.
