Does your project or event need a 501(c)3?
For a variety of reasons, many community groups or organizations do not want to acquire their own 501(C)3 status; the process is complicated and expensive or the project is temporary. At other times an organization has applied for tax exempt status but wants to be able to receive grant funding or accept donations before it receives its 501(c)3 designation; which can take many months. Fiscal sponsorship is a way for those groups and projects to qualify for grants and receive donations that require tax-exempt status while offering tax deductions to their donors. The San Juan RC&D offers fiscal sponsorship to qualified projects.
