Fiscal Sponsorship

Siuslaw Vision offers fiscal sponsorship for qualifying local organizations and community projects serving the Siuslaw region of western Lane County.

Siuslaw Vision’s Fiscal Sponsorship Program helps organizations with community-centered projects build capacity, primarily through the ability to apply for funding opportunities and receive donations and community support. 

Organizations and projects seeking fiscal sponsorship must further Siuslaw Vision’s tax-exempt purposes, and demonstrate alignment with Siuslaw Vision’s mission and purpose. 

What is fiscal sponsorship?
Fiscal Sponsorship is a contractual relationship between a federally exempt nonprofit entity under Internal Revenue Code 501(c)(3) that agrees to use its tax-exempt status to receive funds and donations on behalf of another organization or project (aka “sponsee” or “sponsored organization”). The fiscal sponsor then holds these funds and is responsible for ensuring they are administered in a manner that furthers the charitable mission and exempt purposes of the sponsor.

Please download our Fiscal Sponsorship Program Introductory Resource Guide and the Fiscal Sponsorship Application for more information, and reach out to vision@siuslawvision.org to discuss your organization and/or project in more detail.
