Note: If you have visited our application site before, you might notice that we are now using the application portal Submittable for our Fiscal Sponsorship Applications. The application requirements are the same, however the new online portal allows us a greater amount of flexibility, a better user experience, and greater ease in uploading needed materials. Old account log-ins do NOT transfer to the new portal. To access our applications you will need to create a Submittable account according to the directions. Please feel free to contact [email protected] if you have any questions.
