Fiscal sponsors provide a multitude of community leaders and change agents with equitable access to nonprofit infrastructure along with capacity building support. Through this model, funders entrust fiscal sponsors to administer and steward funds and charitable assets, assume liability, see to staffing and benefits administration, and ensure compliance for the causes funders invest in.

While we work with funders every day, much work remains in building understanding of fiscal sponsorship basics among funders, let alone the larger advocacy talking points.

Join us for a conversation about how we advocate to and communicate with funders, from the basics of how fiscal sponsorship works, to the broader impacts of our field.

What are the questions or miscommunications that arise most frequently? Where do you see the greatest potential to bring funders into conversation with sponsors and projects?
