Fiscal Sponsorship is a fundraising and administrative tool that allows your project to use NYFA’s 501c3 nonprofit status to fundraise for your own project. With the support of NYFA Fiscal Sponsorship, you can:

-Apply for funding from government, foundation, and corporate grants traditionally restricted to 501c3 organizations.
-Offer the incentive of a tax-deduction to attract individual donors.
-Receive consultation services with NYFA staff at no cost.
-Receive fiduciary oversight and financial record-keeping.
-Create a personalized fundraising page on nyfa.org.
-Participate in networking opportunities with a community of artists.

The next no-fee application deadline is September 30, 2023. To apply, you must have a specific project (ex: a film, a play, an educational or community program, a series of paintings, etc). We invite applications from arts collectives, individual artists, and emerging non-profit arts organizations.
