Fiscal Sponsorship

By working with the Border Philanthropy Partnership as your fiscal sponsor, you can utilize our tax-exempt status to accept tax-deductible donations and grants on your behalf.

​Whether you plan to fundraise for a new project or want to grow a charitable initiative in your community, building the financial infrastructure to make it happen can be complex. That's why BPP is here to help. Our team supports more than 110 organizations that use BPP for their fiscal sponsorship needs.

What is a Fiscal Sponsor?
A fiscal sponsor allows you to get the full benefits of a nonprofit, without the legal and fiscal headache. Through the Border Philanthropy Partnership, you can receive all the benefits of a 501(c)(3)  tax-exempt organization without establishing your own nonprofit entity. 

After signing a fiscal sponsorship agreement, the Border Philanthropy Partnership takes on the responsibility of managing charitable donations and funds, while you focus on your project goals. A fiscal sponsorship can be a great short-term solution while you wait for your tax-exempt status to be approved, or a long-term solution for organizations that do not want to worry about the extra administrative work required to maintain a 501(c)(3) status.
Why partner with Border Philanthropy Partnership?
​In addition to receiving all the benefits of a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization, the Border Philanthropy Partnership brings years of experience helping charitable organizations grow and new projects get off the ground. We support more than 100 organizations with their fiscal sponsorship needs and our team can help you identify trusted organizations and philanthropists that will help you fulfill your charitable goals.
Who can apply for fiscal sponsorship?
Any active Border Philanthropy Partnership member organization at the Institutional level or higher may participate. The member organization must be in good standing with payment of dues to BPP to be eligible. Click here to become a member.
Can I use BPP as a fiscal sponsor if I operate in Mexico and/or the United States?  
Yes. The Border Philanthropy Partnership provides fiscal sponsorship services within the United States, from Mexico to the United States, and vice-versa. Some exclusions apply.
