This channel is intended to help people better understand fiscal sponsorship and the value of working with Community Initiatives.
Community Initiatives started as a comprehensive fiscal sponsor in 1996. As a comprehensive fiscal sponsor, Community Initiatives lends our 501(c)(3) status to our otherwise nonqualified projects. We also save the projects we work with time, resources, and provide them with support from industry experts. Our comprehensive services significantly reduce the administrative burden on projects with which we partner so they can focus on helping the communities they serve. Our services include finance & accounting, grant administration, HR & payroll, legal advice, tax compliance & management, insurance, and assistance with fundraising. Annually, Community Initiatives manages over $30 million in nonprofit assets for more than 110 projects.
