Would You Like To Get Under My Umbrella? All About Fiscal Sponsorship

Time: 3:45 — 5:15 p.m

Despite the many benefits, not all Neighborhood Networks centers have obtained Internal Revenue Service (IRS) 501(c)(3) nonprofit tax-exempt status. One way Neighborhood Networks centers can enjoy nonprofit advantages without actually becoming a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt facility is through fiscal sponsorship. Centers may be able to use the NNNC or local/ regional consortia as their fiscal sponsors. Pros and cons of this approach are discussed.
