What is Fiscal Sponsorship?

     At its core, fiscal sponsorship allows independent arts groups the ability to raise funds for their artistic projects using Faith Deliverance Pentecostal Organization’s tax-exempt status as a 501(c)(3) organization. 501(c)(3) is the tax determination given by the IRS to a non-profit charitable organization, which allows donors to receive a tax deduction for supporting a public charity. Under F.D.P.C.fiscal sponsorship, arts groups and organizations can offer tax-deductible receipts to donors and may be eligible to apply for government and foundation grant programs usually only available to organizations with 501(c)(3) status
