Your mission. Our Admin.

Imagine focusing solely on the impact you want to create while a trusted partner handles the administrative, financial, and compliance work—tax‑exempt receipt of donations, payroll, reporting, and more.

Fiscal sponsorship through our parent organization, Social Good Fund, is a formal arrangement that lets a project without its own nonprofit status operate under the umbrella of an established 501(c)(3). As a sponsored project you can apply for grants and receive tax‑deductible donations under the sponsor’s exempt status, freeing you to devote more time and bandwidth to the work that matters most.

How It Works

To be ready to apply for fiscal sponsorship with Social Good Fund, have ready:

1. Your Mission Statement
2. Your preference between A and C sponsorship models (more info here)
3. A concise and specific description of the activites that your project will engage in to support your Mission.
4. A general funding plan, including a projected 12-month revenue figure.

The cost related to fiscal sponsorship varies. Social Good Fund collects an administrative fee comprised of a flat amount, plus a percentage of the project’s annual budget.

In additon to enabling a project to recieve grants and tax-deductible donations, fiscal sponsorship with Social Good Fund also entials back-office support, human resources services, accounting and financial management, and access to coaching and consulting. 

At any time, projects can choose to discontinue the relationship and take control of their assets. Many projects choose to attain their own 501(c)(3) after some time.
