Fiscal Sponsorship
Our fiscal sponsorship program offers creatives, entrepreneurs, community builders, and emerging arts/entrepreneurship organizations access to funding opportunities and other resources through an affiliation with a 501(c)(3) organization.
Process and guidelines
The TechArtista Foundation (TAF) accepts applications for fiscally sponsored projects which are reviewed by staff and approved by our board of directors. Applications are reviewed on their own merit, not in comparison with any other applications received. All project funds raised by fiscally sponsored projects are subject to a 10% administrative fee. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis and qualified applications are brought forward for consideration at our regular board of directors meetings.
*Please note: fiscal sponsorship is NOT a grant and applications should not include a request for funding from TAF. If you want to learn about fiscal sponsorship watch the Fiscal Sponsorship Primer Video by Propel Nonprofits.
Applying for fiscal sponsorship
Before submitting an application for Fiscal Sponsorship through the TechArtista Foundation, please schedule a 15-minute consultation call with Matt Menietti, Executive Director.
