Fiscal Sponsor Directory

Free

What it is

A free public directory of 300+ fiscal sponsors: established 501(c)(3) nonprofits that let a project receive tax-deductible donations and apply for foundation grants before it has its own nonprofit status. Searchable by name, focus area, and location, with category chips (arts, journalism, technology, health, community, faith, international, and more) and a state filter. Every listing shows the published fee, the sponsorship model (Model A comprehensive vs Model C pass-through, explained in plain words), eligibility notes, and a direct link to the sponsor's own site, plus a 5-point how-to-choose guide. Pairs with the Grant Engine at /grants for finding the grants themselves.
