Services

As a comprehensive fiscal sponsorship platform, we offer a wide range of services to our partner organizations, including:

  • Financial management and reporting

    We provide support and guidance in building and implementing a financial plan, creating and managing budgets, and supporting funder reports.

  • Compliance and legal support

    We help organizations understand and eventually navigate the legal and regulatory requirements associated with nonprofit status, including tax-exemption status, incorporation, and compliance with IRS rules.

  • Grant management and administration

    We provide support with grant management. This involves creating and implementing systems to ensure that grant proposals are submitted on time, grant awards are managed effectively, and grant reporting requirements are met. We will support in developing budgets, tracking grant expenses, and ensuring compliance with grant regulations.

  • Capacity building support

    We offer a range of consulting services to help organizations build capacity and achieve their goals. We work with you to develop your organization’s internal capacity to achieve its mission and goals effectively and efficiently. This involves assessing an organization’s strengths and weaknesses and identifying areas where it can improve its operations and processes to better achieve its objectives.

How It Works

Our process is designed to provide customized support and guidance throughout the engagement.

1.

Towards the end of the incubation period, we work with you to set up your own independent tax-exempt organization.
