The Interreligious Foundation for Community Organization (IFCO) is proud to invite grassroots progressive organizations and projects to utilize our fiscal sponsorship services.

Our Fiscal Sponsorship program provides administrative and financial support to mission-aligned projects, allowing them to operate under our 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status without the burden of starting their own nonprofit. Through this partnership, we handle grant management, tax compliance, and financial reporting, so you can focus on making an impact. Whether you’re launching a new initiative or expanding an existing project, our sponsorship ensures credibility, compliance, and access to tax-deductible funding opportunities.

IFCO FISCAL SPONSORSHIP

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • IFCO is incorporated as a not-for-profit, charitable corporation under Section 501-c-3 of the U.S. tax code. As such, IFCO may receive funds on behalf of another project which may be unincorporated, or which does not have 501-c-3 status, as long as those funds are used for not-for-profit, charitable purposes. Fiscal sponsorship makes it possible for your project to apply for grants from sources like foundations, which are required by law to give grants to 501-c-3 organizations; or for supporters to make tax-deductible contributions by making their donations to IFCO, designated for your work.
