Fiscal Sponsorship
Empowering grassroots initiatives with the tools and structure to grow.
Our fiscal sponsorship program offers creatives, entrepreneurs, community builders, and emerging arts/entrepreneurship organizations access to funding opportunities and other resources through an affiliation with a 501(c)(3) organization.
Process and guidelines
In order to focus our capacity on our current cohort of fiscally sponsored projects, the TechArtista Foundation is not accepting applications for new projects at this time. Existing fiscally sponsored projects continue to receive full support from our team and are subject to a 10% administrative fee on all project funds raised. If you'd like to be notified if the program reopens in the future, please sign up for our newsletter. If you're new to fiscal sponsorship as a model, we recommend watching the Fiscal Sponsorship Primer Video by Propel Nonprofits as a helpful starting point.
