The Clearwater RC&D Council’s Fiscal Sponsorship Program is a comprehensive alternative to starting up and running a new, separate nonprofit organization.
Fiscal sponsorship is a cost effective way to implement new programs, bring together groups to collaborate on an issue, and test new approaches to complex problems. Fiscal sponsorship is a common mechanism used in the nonprofit sector that enables individuals and organizations to start new programs without establishing a new, separate nonprofit organization.
