Fiscal Sponsorship

Looking to raise funds for your charitable cause? Not a nonprofit?

Global Impact can help you raise money for your cause. As a leader in growing global philanthropy, we understand what it takes to run a nonprofit, which includes raising funds no matter your cause area. If your group or organization wants to generate money for a charitable cause but doesn’t have the nonprofit status to do so, Global Impact can help make fundraising possible by serving as your fiscal sponsor.

Whether you plan to become a 501(c)(3) at some point or are looking for a permanent solution to receive funding, fiscal sponsorship through Global Impact can provide an efficient and affordable solution.

We work with over 50 organizations to provide support for raising funds.

Wherever you are located, our fiscal sponsorship program can be a solution for you. Our fiscal projects generally fall into one of the following categories:

USA Fundraising

International organizations seeking to raise funds in the United States

Nonprofit Status

A U.S. foundation or charitable entity that does not have its own 501(c)(3) status

International Granting

A foundation or corporation that wants to grant internationally

Event Fundraising

A one-time project, event, or collaboration that will raise collective funds

Fiscal Sponsorship Services

As your fiscal sponsor, Global Impact facilitates the solicitation and receipt of donations from within the U.S. and around the world.
