Fiscal sponsorship can change the world!
Last week, I was honored to attend the Inaugural Gathering of the National Network of Fiscal Sponsors which has been developed and organized by The Tides Center over the last few years. The NNFS is very much taking a “strength-in-numbers” approach (which is exactly how we think at Fractured Atlas) and I will stay involved as things progress to ensure that the arts are included in the advocacy work we do going forward. The other arts sponsors in attendance were NYFA, Intersection for the Arts and Independent Arts & Media (all excellent organizations btw) and we made a commitment to stay involved and in touch, in the name of art…
Through random luck, I ended up at our dinner meeting on Thursday night sitting next to the man who literally wrote the book on fiscal sponsorship - Greg Colvin (Fiscal Sponsorship: 6 Ways to Do It Right). We had a great time chatting and he seemed very impressed with how we were using technology to operate our program.
P.S. I think I can safely say that at this point, Fractured Atlas has the largest fiscal sponsorship program of any kind in the United States…If you can find a bigger program, I’ll give you a free one year Individual membership (as of this writing, we have 840 projects) - happy hunting!
