Fiscal Sponsor Organizations

    Hello everyone! We’ve recently hired a grant writer to work with our organization. They will be supporting our projects with resources and grant writing services, but they will also be fundraising for our other internal departments. We were curious to know if anyone here has had experience or success fundraising for your FS program? Thanks!

    Isabella, that is the BIG issue so many of us are working on. We also have someone on our team putting together a list of potential grant opportunities specific for us as a fiscal sponsor in the Pacific Northwest. We haven’t yet applied for any of the grants but will be soon. At present we are getting everything ready…for example lists of goals, objectives, needs, etc. to pull from when applying. So, no we have not yet had success, but we hope that will come.

    Just commenting to follow, as we’re doing a lot of fundraising right now for operating support.

    I know a number of folks here work for orgs that fundraise for operating support and from what I’ve heard, that support often comes from funders supporting FS orgs focused on specific communities (mostly in a geographic sense, but not necessarily so).
