Spring into Fundraising with Fiscal Sponsorship: Applications Due March 31
“NYFA’s Fiscal Sponsorship model allows for evolution.” – fiscally sponsored artist Karen Marshall (Fellow in Photography ‘90)
Are you an artist or artist-run organization looking to bring your project to the next level? NYFA Fiscal Sponsorship provides artists and emerging organizations, whose projects benefit the public, with greater access to funding and enhances their fundraising capabilities. Here a few benefits of NYFA Fiscal Sponsorship:
- The ability to fundraise under NYFA’s 501c3 status and thus offer donors the incentive of tax-deductible donations;
- Access to large-scale funding opportunities from foundations or corporate funders that are usually restricted to 501c3 tax-exempt organizations;
- Free personalized support from NYFA staff
The next quarterly, no-fee application deadline for NYFA Fiscal Sponsorship is March 31, 2017.
