Programs that provide assistance for unincorporated community coalitions, time-limited projects or other groups that are unable to establish an independent 501(c)(3) and want to obtain the benefits of that status through sponsorship by an organization that already has that status. Included are programs that provide training on the topic of fiscal sponsorship, offer consultation services to help organizations evaluate the advisability of fiscal sponsorship or identify and assess the suitability of potential fiscal sponsors, and those that are equipped to serve as fiscal sponsors for other organizations themselves. Having a fiscal sponsor allows the organization to solicit funds from government, foundation, individual and other philanthropic sources and frees the organization from financial and accounting responsibilities, grants management, human resource management and other administrative functions. Activities of the sponsored organization must be consistent with the charitable purpose of their sponsor.
