Fiscal Sponsorship
Unlock U.S. donors, wherever you are
As a U.S. 501(c)(3), Better Giving accepts tax-deductible gifts and grants on your behalf, so organizations abroad, or without their own 501(c)(3), can reach U.S. donors and foundations without incorporating.
2.9%, the lowest sponsorship fee we know of
Typical fiscal sponsors charge 4-10%. Ours covers the real costs of compliance and granting, and we're working to make it donor-coverable, so you'd keep 100%.
Who fiscal sponsorship is for
Grassroots and established nonprofits abroad often can't access IRS tax-exempt status, which shuts them out of U.S. donors and foundation grants. We bridge that gap: your U.S. supporters give tax-deductibly, we handle the legal and tax complexity, and grant the funds to you.
New projects and community initiatives can start accepting tax-deductible donations right away: no incorporation, no year-long IRS wait. When you're ready to stand on your own, your donors and data go with you.
How it works
Apply online. We review your eligibility.
Donors give through your branded form (every gift type) with automatic U.S. tax receipts.
Grants are reviewed and processed on a monthly basis, or a share can sit in savings and the Sustainability Fund.
