How It Works
Fiscal Sponsorship with GGI.
Through fiscal sponsorship, GGI administers contributions for approved charitable work. Both pathways operate under a written agreement with GGI.
Important to know
A fiscally sponsored division or charitable project is not a separate tax-exempt organization. Contributions are accepted only in support of work approved by GGI and are administered by GGI for approved charitable purposes. GGI retains oversight and final authority over their charitable use.
Two pathways
Which fits your work?
Fiscally Sponsored Division
For ongoing charitable work that needs continuing financial administration, oversight, reporting, and support through GGI.
- Work
- Ongoing
- Scope
- Continuing charitable program
- Timeframe
- Long-term or transitional
Long-term vs. transitional
Long-term fiscal sponsorship is intended for work that plans to continue under GGI's structure. Transitional fiscal sponsorship is intended for work that expects to operate under GGI for a period before potentially becoming independent. Transition is a goal, not an automatic outcome or a guaranteed timeline — any change would require planning and approval under the applicable agreement.
