FISCAL SPONSORSHIP
Road to Artdom is proud to offer fiscal sponsorship for organizations that are empowering artists. We provide organizations that are engaged in work that relates to our mission with tax-exempt status, financial and legal oversight, and administrative services.
Program Overview
Our fiscal sponsorship program is an effective way for artists to start up and operate a nonprofit arts organization without filing for their own 501(c)(3) status. Our service allows you to focus on your project while we handle the paperwork.
We offer two types of fiscal sponsorship relationships described below:
Comprehensive Fiscal Sponsorship
(Model A)
Through this relationship, your project will become a direct program of Road to Artdom and we will maintain all legal and fiduciary responsibility for your project, including employees and project activities. We charge a 15% fee for this service.
Pre-Approved Grant Fiscal Sponsorship
(Model C)
Through this relationship, your project does not become a program belonging to Road to Artdom, and instead, is a separate entity responsible for managing its own tax reporting and liability issues but Road to Artdom will ensure that you will use the grant funds received to accomplish the work described in your grant proposal. We charge a 10% fee for this service.
