Fiscal sponsorship is one of the ways we show up for grassroots organizations doing meaningful work across our state — from rural villages to urban neighborhoods. We assist projects that serve communities but aren’t yet set up as tax-exempt nonprofits. 

Through our Model C fiscal sponsorship program, donors and grantors contribute directly to NMCF, and we regrant those funds to fiscally sponsored projects as restricted charitable gifts. Organizations stay independent while gaining the administrative infrastructure to grow and thrive. 

To help build the capacity of your charitable project, we provide back-office support, which includes:

• grants management
• accounts payable and receivable
• fiduciary oversight, financial management, and other administrative services  

A 10% fee applies to all incoming monies. Sponsored organizations must be separate legal entities with general liability insurance.
