Fiscal sponsorship can be a great option for new organizations that only intend to operate for a short time or do not have the capacity to comply with 501(c)(3) filing requirements. Fiscal sponsorship can also be a temporary solution while an organization waits on the IRS to approve its own tax-exempt application. Fiscal sponsorship is typically a formal relationship between a nonprofit organization that is recognized by the IRS as 501(c)(3) tax-exempt (the fiscal sponsor) and an organization that may lack exempt status (the sponsored organization or project) to allow the sponsored organization to receive tax-deductible donations. This article will discuss why organizations may seek a fiscal sponsor as well as the factors a nonprofit should consider before becoming a fiscal sponsor.
