Date
June 16, 2025

Fiscal sponsorship is a valuable arrangement that allows organizations or individuals to receive tax-deductible donations under the umbrella of an established 501(c)(3) nonprofit. However, navigating the legal and tax implications is crucial to ensure compliance with IRS regulations and nonprofit governance best practices. In this session, we will break down the fiscal sponsor models, discussing legal considerations and best practices for structuring the arrangement. We will also evaluate the guidance that exists from an IRS perspective on fiscal sponsorships and look at common tax pitfalls and opportunities. Whether you are an auditor, tax professional, consultant or a nonprofit organization considering sponsoring others, this session will provide essential insights to help you navigate fiscal sponsorship with confidence.
