Fiscal Sponsorship in Uncertain Times
2026-07-17 13:00 - 14:00 | Zoom, CA, United States
As federal funding cuts, policy shifts, and growing uncertainty continue to shape the nonprofit landscape, many community initiatives and emerging organizations are seeking sustainable ways to advance their work. Fiscal sponsorship has long served as a powerful tool for launching programs, supporting movement-building efforts, and helping community leaders access resources without forming a new nonprofit. We are excited to partner with Community Partners, Movement Strategy Center, and Changeist for an in-depth webinar on July 17 exploring how fiscal sponsorship works, when it makes sense, and what to consider before choosing this model. You’ll gain practical insights into the opportunities, challenges, and real-world applications of fiscal sponsorship.
