Fiscal Sponsorship

Fiscal sponsorship can enable artists, filmmakers and production companies with projects, films and events to share a common platform with our organization, thus increasing efficiency and effectiveness. In addition to legal status, we can help with publicity, fundraising assistance, and our years of experiential learning.

Artists and projects may seek fiscal sponsorship for various reasons, simplicity, such as improved access to funding, increased credibility, and low-cost financial and administrative services. Fiscal sponsors can also assist nascent projects in developing the necessary organizational capabilities to eventually spin off as independent non-profits.

Applications for entrance into the Sponsorship Program are accepted on a fiscal year basis. Once we have received all the requested materials the application will be circulated to our Organization for review.  We will notify applicants of the Organization’s decision and if the application is approved an acceptance of Agreement will be determined.
