Fiscal sponsors are not just shared capacity and resources for our community, they also can be safe harbors for nurturing new initiatives, managing risks, and defending against attacks. As challenges for the nonprofit sector mount, in particular with the incoming administration, we want to examine the ways in which fiscal sponsors can mitigate risk and provide protections, both for themselves and their projects. In this session, we will discuss how to get your house in order to mitigate vulnerabilities, the uses of Model “L” (“A-L”) fiscal sponsorship as legal protection, the potential role for Donor Advised Funds as intermediaries for private philanthropies, and general readiness considerations for fiscal sponsors and their communities.
