Nonprofit Fiscal Sponsorship

Building and supporting your capacity to serve

Massachusetts values its nonprofit community and we are proud to be a part of it, and our goal is to support the capacity of other nonprofits in their development,  so if you recently started or plan to have a charitable organization and need a fiscal agent, you may be eligible for our program.   We are here to support you, and offer the following as a guide to help you evaluate if fiscal sponsorship with us is right for you.

  • Mission.  Are you an organization that sees itself as contributing to the economic growth of your community or its residents? 
  • Organization’s Experience & Expertise.  Do you have staff or volunteers who work at least half time for the organization and who possess the expertise necessary to enable the organization to fulfill its mission?
  • Financial Capacity.   Does the organization have a minimum of $100,000 in annual funding already raised or pledged?  If not, is there a viable fund-raising strategy in place that will allow the organization to reach that goal within three years?
  • Board leadership.  Is there someone who serves in this capacity with the ability to understand and approve the terms of the fiscal sponsorship letter?
  • Partnership Commitment.  Will the organization commit to a partnership with us?  We prefer to work with organizations that can commit to a three year sponsorship.  Fiscal sponsorship requires a significant investment of our time, and we need to be able to recoup the cost of your on-boarding and eventual transition out.  We want your efforts to be successful, and our investment of time and resources to be leveraged by a true commitment to partnership.
