Fiscal Sponsorship
IAM is currently accepting applications for fiscal sponsorship, with review conducted by the Sponsorship Subcommittee and Advisory Board at our monthly board meeting.
About Fiscal Sponsorship
IAM’s fiscal sponsorship program supports projects around the SF Bay Area and beyond that build community and public engagement through noncommercial media and arts, by enabling them to receive tax-deductible donations and grants. Depending on the type of sponsorship relationship, affiliated projects may also have access to other resources and services.
- TO APPLY: Download the IAM Fiscal Sponsorship Application Form (PDF). The completed form should be saved and emailed with supporting documents to IAM using the email address listed on the form.
- All fiscal sponsorship applications must be for work that is non-commercial, that does not endorse candidates for office or lobby for legislation, and that meets our program criteria (see below).
If you have any questions, contact us using the online form below.
We evaluate applications on the following criteria:
- How well the project fits into Independent Arts & Media’s noncommercial mission and values.
- Relevant experience and background of the project’s leaders.
- IRS guidelines for activities of 501(c)(3) organizations.
- The specific needs of the project and its organizational framework.
