Fiscal Sponsorship for Artists & Small Arts Organizations

At Arts Humanitas, we are committed to supporting the growth and development of creative climate arts projects and initiatives. Our fiscal sponsorship program provides nonprofit status to artists’ projects and artist-run organizations, enabling them to focus on their work while benefiting from the resources and financial infrastructure of an established 501(c)(3) organization.

Our fiscal sponsorship services allow you to focus on your creative vision without the burden of managing a standalone organization. Whether you’re an emerging artist or a small organization, we partner with you to help make your work a reality.

If you’re interested in exploring fiscal sponsorship opportunities and want to learn more about how we can support your artistic and organizational goals, please fill out our inquiry form. Once you’ve sent your inquiry, you’ll receive an email from our Program Manager to schedule a more in-depth conversation.
