Through Fiscal Sponsorship

Note: Black Film Space has paused accepting new fiscal sponsorship applications at this time.

What is Fiscal Sponsorship?

Fiscal sponsorship is a legal and financial arrangement where a nonprofit organization helps individuals or groups raise funds for projects that align with its mission. Through this partnership, the nonprofit allows the sponsored project to use its tax-exempt status, enabling donors to make tax-deductible contributions.
