Fees and Minimums

Learn about the fees and fundraising requirements for fiscal sponsorship.

Making Nonprofit Affordable

Sponsorship Fees

While nonprofit administration costs can swallow as much as 20-40% of a nonprofit’s budget, fiscal sponsorship offers an affordable alternative. In support of comprehensive administrative services, Community Initiatives charges 10% of gross receipts. Due to the complexity of the reporting requirements, Community Initiatives charges 15% for government funds. Contact us to learn more about our fees.

Fundraising Minimum

Community Initiatives has the breadth and ability to serve projects of a variety of sizes. While we serve a number projects with annual budgets in the millions, all projects in our network must fulfill a minimum annual fundraising requirement of $24,000.
