Apply with your initiative

Get your non-profit initiative up and running fast.

It can take years for a group to get 501(c)(3) non-profit status. Fiscal hosts are especially helpful to newly formed nonprofit groups, large and small. We act as a legal entity for your group, organizing the back-end of your fundraising efforts. It’s fast and easy to apply. Once your group is approved, you can begin collecting funds immediately.

How it works:

• Donations are made to our 501(c)(3) (tax-exempt status applies)
• We make a “grant” to your group/project
• We send donors their receipts, disburse funds/reimburse expenses after your approval, send out the tax forms to independent contractors as applicable
• You have complete access to collect, spend, manage your money on our platform.

Please take a moment to read our documentation and Terms and Conditions before applying. We want to make this process as easy for you as possible; you will need to know a few things to have a smooth experience.
