NEWS HIGHLIGHTS
LEAD STORY: Fiscal sponsorship: Up and up
Is fiscal sponsorship on the rise? Until now, the evidence has been anecdotal. Now, the Fiscal Sponsor Directory has confirmation: We compared how many projects our profiled sponsors said they were serving in 2018 with their current numbers and found 54 had experienced growth, some modest but others dramatic — with projects doubling, tripling and more during the five years.
Allied Arts Foundation, a venerable nonprofit in Seattle offering fiscal sponsorship for 40 years, had 24 projects in 2018 and today has 60. The 31-year-old Jewish Creativity International in New York was serving 25 projects in 2018 and now has 75. Social Impact Fund in Los Angeles, with 11 projects four years after launching its fiscal sponsorship program, has 30. The National Performance Workshop in New Orleans, a fiscal sponsor for 21 years, saw its numbers grow from 29 to 50. Social Good Fund in Oakland, Calif., had 200 projects in 2018, and today has 725, up 263%. MORE
