For leaders of fiscally sponsored projects, raising money is one of the most pressing and persistent challenges they face. Yet many project leaders approach fundraising without a clear understanding of how fiscal sponsorship shapes their options, from donor relationships, to grant eligibility, to the mechanics of accepting grants and donations.
Fiscal sponsorship consultant Andrew Schulman and Melissa Erickson, CFRE, Executive Director of The Funding Studio, will discuss what effective fundraising actually looks like for sponsored projects. Drawing on Melissa’s deep expertise in development strategy and Andrew’s decade of supporting sponsored projects across all stages of the life cycle, they’ll offer practical guidance on how to build a fundraising approach that works within the sponsored structure rather than around it.
Their conversation will cover the fundamentals: how fiscal sponsorship affects donor giving, what project leaders should understand about grant seeking under a sponsor’s umbrella, how to communicate your project’s mission compellingly when your organization is not yet its own legal entity, and where sponsored projects most often face challenges in their early fundraising efforts.
Whether you’re just launching a sponsored project and trying to figure out where to start, or you’ve been at it for a while and want to sharpen your approach, this conversation is designed to give you a clearer picture of your options and a more confident footing as a fundraiser.
