Fiscally Sponsored Grantmaking Policies and Best Practices

This is the second session of the Fiscal Sponsorship Virtual Training Series with Social Impact Commons.

Following a quick review of the basic sponsorship models, we'll dive into policy and practice considerations specific to grantmakers, focusing on grants management. Grantmakers are reporting significant increases in the volume of fiscally sponsored grants, largely in response to the urgent need to support work centered on equity and social justice. While sponsored grants share similar considerations with conventional grants and nonsponsored projects, funders need to invest in orienting staff and adjusting policies and practices to be effective partners to sponsored projects. We will cover key fiscal sponsorship considerations over the whole arc of grantmaking: application design, review, and award management.
