About Us
As a comprehensive fiscal sponsor, we take on all legal and fiduciary responsibility for the nonprofit project, its employees and its activities.
Who We Are
Supporting Hundreds of Projects for Over 25 Years
We provide comprehensive administrative services that significantly reduce the administrative burden on projects in our network. What does “comprehensive” mean? Financial management, human resources, payroll, and health insurance, liability insurance, legal services, grant management support, tax compliance and management, and online fundraising dashboards. We handle it all.
Our Mission
What Makes Us Different
