Fiscal Sponsor Organizations

  • 1.  Multi-year grants and prorated fees

    Interested in other sponsors’ contractual policies around multi-year grants. If an FSO spins off in the middle of one, does your org prorate the admin cost/fees? If so, how is that rate determined?

    Thank you in advance for your input!

    following this because we are also looking at policies around this!

    Good question, Amanda! I have seen many organizations with policies related to transferred funds. A few choose to return all FS allocations collected on unspent funds, while others choose to return only a portion of the collected funds. We also recommend that this item would be clearly outlined in your fiscal sponsorship agreements, so there is no ambiguity left at the time when the project chooses to transition. I hope this helps!
