FISCAL SPONSORSHIP

WHAT IS FISCAL SPONSORSHIP

  Fiscal Sponsorship is when a tax-exempt organization accepts and manages funds for a third party.  The benefit of working  

  with a fiscal sponsor is that it allows an individual to receive money from a donor while the donor receives a tax write-off.
