152: Charitable Entrepreneurs and Fiscal Sponsorship 101

Welcome to EO Radio Show – Your Nonprofit Legal Resource. I'm Cynthia Rowland, and in EO Radio Show episode 152 I'm focusing on what charitable entrepreneurs need to know when launching a new charitable initiative and are considering whether fiscal sponsorship is the right way to incubate, that is test and build a new idea, or a good short-term vehicle to run a time-limited charitable activity without going through the expense and timeline of forming and qualifying a standalone nonprofit organization. I'll go over what the terms "sponsored project" and "fiscal sponsor" mean and the legal context in which they operate.
