Fiscal Sponsorship

Fiscal sponsorship helps artists gain access to funding and resources they might otherwise struggle to obtain, by leveraging the tax-exempt status of a partner organization. This allows artists to receive tax-deductible donations and apply for a wider range of grants. Additionally, many fiscal sponsors offer financial and business consultating.
