Fiscal Sponsorship, at its most basic level, is when a 501(c)3 organization enables individuals, unincorporated entities or projects and non-tax-exempt organizations to accept charitable donations and grants intended only for nonprofit organizations. A Fiscal Sponsorship relationship is used as a fundraising tool to expand donor bases through the benefit of this tax-exempt status, and to allow for grants that can support your project or program.
Pentacle’s fiscal sponsorship programs for artists are offered in two ways. Unique Projects provides sponsorship offering tax exempt donations and receipts of grants. Foundation for Independent Artists (FIA) provides full fiscal and administrative services that come with benefits of incorporation on an annual basis.
