We have two humble goals for each session:

  1. To facilitate connections among those who practice this wacky thing called fiscal sponsorship
  2. To provide our attendees with useful information to help them personally, their practice and/or their organization

Each session is focused on a specific topic and features some combination of large group discussion, small group breakouts and/or expert guest speakers. (See below for a list of recent topics we’ve covered.) These sessions are free and open to all practitioners (and only practitioners) of fiscal sponsorship no matter who you serve, how you serve them or where you serve them! If this feels like the group for you, please register and bring your thoughts, plans, questions and answers related to how your organization manages any/all aspects of its operations through this time of uncertainty. (If you’re not a practitioner of fiscal sponsorship but are interested in this group, please click here to reach out.)
