Fiscal Sponsorship
What We Offer
Are you looking for a simple fiscal sponsorship solution? Shunpike provides basic fiscal sponsorship to arts groups or projects that need the benefits of 501(c)(3) status, but are comfortable doing their own accounting, tax reporting and procuring their own licenses and permits.
Eligibility
Shunpike fiscally sponsors a broad array of arts groups and projects that are community-minded and in line with our mission to fuel innovation in the arts.
How to Apply
The Fiscal Sponsorship Application asks for information on your project or group, along with your financial and fundraising goals. Contact us for an application, and with any questions about your project’s eligibility.
Application Timeline
Applications are typically due on the first of the month. We are not reviewing applications in February 2012, making the next deadline March 1, 2012.
A Shunpike staff member will work with you to ensure your application is ready for review. While we are selective, we want you to submit the best application you can. You will hear about the success of your application by the end of the month in which you apply.
Program Fees
- A $100 annual fee
