Fiscal Sponsorship FAQs
What size organizations do you work with?
Our practice is designed to help organizations with some momentum take their work to the next level. Because of this, we generally require an annual budget of at least one-hundred thousand dollars on the smaller end of things and have worked with multi-million dollar projects on the larger end of things.
How long does it take to become a fiscally sponsored project?
A major aspect of our application process is focused on mutually determining if we are the right fiscal sponsor for your work. Because of this we find it usually takes 4-6 weeks from application to activation.
How much money do we need to get started?
The amount of funding required to get started varies based on the size of your annual budget and operations - that said we are usually looking to have about 10% of your annual budget pledged or secured to get started.
How can I apply?
Our application can be sent to you after an initial exploration call with our fiscal sponsorship team. If you feel you may be a good fit, reach out and we can start the conversation.
