In Simple Terms: What is Fiscal Sponsorship?
Fiscal sponsorship is a supportive legal arrangement that allows artists and collectives to operate under the 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status of an established organization. In plain language, it means you can apply for institutional grants and accept tax-deductible donations without having to incorporate as your own non-profit. We provide the administrative framework and financial oversight, freeing you to focus on what matters most: your creative work.
