Apply For Fiscal Sponsorship

The Basics of Fiscal Sponsorship

 Fiscal sponsorship is a helpful arrangement that can benefit artists, filmmakers, individuals, social enterprises and nonprofit organizations. 


Here's how it works:  Let's say you have a great project or idea, but you don't have the legal status needed to receive grants or other charitable contributions from individuals, foundations, donors, or government agencies. That's where The Funding Studio as the fiscal sponsor comes in. The Funding Studio, which already has the necessary legal status (501(c)(3)), steps in as the fiscal sponsor. For a fee, we provide administrative services and oversight, taking on limited legal and financial responsibility for the activities of your project or business.


By partnering with a fiscal sponsor like us, you can access charitable funding for your venture without the hassle of creating and managing a nonprofit organization yourself. This is especially great news This is especially beneficial for independent filmmakers, artists, or socially minded LLCs who don't need to set up a nonprofit just for one project. It saves you time and money, allowing you to focus on what you do best.


In our case, The Funding Studio’s mission is all about championing creative and supporting a community of artists and innovators who embody diversity, innovation, and uniqueness of vision. So not only will you get the support you need, but you'll also be part of a community that shares your passion for artistic expression and social innovation.


So, if you're looking for a way to access funding and support for your project without the headaches of starting your own nonprofit, fiscal sponsorship could be the perfect solution for you. It's a win-win situation that enables you to bring your creative vision to life.
