Fiscal sponsorship allows organizations to operate under the umbrella of an established nonprofit, giving them access to charitable funds without the hassle of setting up their nonprofit entity so they can focus on what they do best: bringing their social change projects to life. With Mission Edge, we handle the administrative workload and provide strategic support to help you scale and grow.

When considering Fiscal Sponsorship, both Model A and Model C have a range of benefits that vary depending on your specific situation. There are financial, administrative and cultural advantages to both options. Understanding the diverse ways fiscal sponsorships can affect your organization can help make your decision easier.

There are two main types of fiscal sponsorship: Model A and Model C. Also known as "direct" or "comprehensive" fiscal sponsorship, Model A is an all-in-one solution; this is a nonprofit in a box. Model C is sometimes called "indirect" fiscal sponsorship or a "pre-approved grant relationship."
