Fiscal Sponsorship
The Together We Can fiscal sponsorship program works with mission-driven organizations, projects, and collaborations that do not yet have their 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status and are looking to advance charitable causes and uplift their communities.
WHAT IS FISCAL SPONSORSHIP?
Fiscal sponsorship is a contractual relationship between a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and a group or individual whose activities fall within the sponsoring organization’s mission. This relationship enables the 501(c)(3) to extend certain benefits of being nonprofit to the sponsored group, without the group having to go through filing for nonprofit status by itself.
In other words: we built an entire organization so that you don’t have to AND you can use our organization to catalyze your creativity!
Raise funds. Motivate donors. Create something excellent. Handle your business.
