In a fiscal sponsorship arrangement, the 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization lends their tax-exempt status to an individual, unregistered group, or project (“sponsee”) that does not have tax-deductible status.
Rather than diving into a costly commitment that could divide focus and delay progress towards meeting a mission, pursuing a fiscal sponsorship allows project leaders to test their ideas without incurring significant administrative burden.
Upon completing far less paperwork than that required by the IRS, a fiscal sponsee can harness the benefits of 501(c)(3) status to manifest the mission, build programs, and earn the confidence of funders.
