For leaders of fiscally sponsored projects, the decision to stay sponsored or spin out is one of the most consequential they will face. Many leaders assume their project should ultimately leave fiscal sponsorship, overlooking a legitimate and often smart alternative: staying sponsored.
Fiscal sponsorship consultant Andrew Schulman and Molly Cottrell, Deputy Director of Soft Landing Missoula (SLM), a fiscally sponsored project that has chosen to remain under sponsorship, will discuss how sponsored projects can approach this discussion and some of the key aspects to consider. Drawing on SLM’s experience and Andrew’s decade of supporting sponsored projects across all stages of the life cycle, they’ll offer a candid look at how to evaluate this choice clearly and without assumptions.
