The private online space just for fiscal sponsor staff
After watching how the Fiscal Sponsor Conversations brings fiscal sponsorship practitioners together and helps them connect with peers, it became clear that the people of our sector (YOU!) could benefit further by having a “place” to have deeper and wider — as well as shallower and narrower — discussions, amongst large groups as well as amongst smaller, more specific groups of people. A true community of practice. We have created that place and it’s called the Fiscal Sponsor Hub.
Like the FS Conversations, the FS Hub is a closed space exclusively for fiscal sponsor staff. The FS Hub has two levels of membership – free and premium. (Good news! If you’ve previously registered for the Fiscal Sponsor Conversations, you have a free membership waiting for you – please reach out to us with any questions on how to set that up and access the community.) Any individual that works in this sector can register for a free membership, which includes access to:
- The new, revamped FSC Archives
- A new FSC “Post-Session Chat” area to ask questions and post comments after the weekly sessions end
- An area to suggest topics for future FSC sessions — and vote on suggestions from others
- Dedicated areas for FS related news and resources from the around web
- A specific space to facilitate project referrals
- The ability to connect directly with other members of the community via private messages

Through ongoing feedback and participation from the community, we envision FS Hub will provide a variety of benefits for fiscal sponsor organizations and those working in the sector:
- A safe place for all practitioners, without limit, to connect with others in the field
- A place to meet, connect and share with your particular peer group, no matter the type of fiscal sponsor you work for, your specific responsibilities/function within the organization or your level of seniority
- A place to convene working groups focused on addressing issues that affect organizations across the sector
- A place to learn via virtual workshops and courses taught by outside experts and expert members of the community
- The place to access a revamped archives for the Fiscal Sponsor Conversations and continue the conversation after the sessions end
- A place to find and share curated news, information and resources related to the practice of fiscal sponsorship and the related topics
With enough participation, we believe this community can play a major role in lifting up our sector, making space for important conversations of all shapes and sizes, spurring innovation and raising up the next generation of fiscal sponsorship leaders.
