Fiscal Sponsorship with Mockingbird:

Getting started with a nonprofit can be intimidating. No one starts a nonprofit because they want to be an administrator. If you’ve ever felt like you want a little extra support with all the paperwork and financial management of running a nonprofit then fiscal sponsorship might be the right option for you.

The Mockingbird Fiscal Sponsorship allows us to lend our 501(c)(3) status to a smaller group that hasn't filed for a tax status, or doesn't have the means to financially cover its administrative costs or to start fundraising for tax deductible donations. Essentially, we’d take you under our wing and help manage workflow through HR and IT services.
