Mission:
To help connect community projects with fiscal sponsors and foster understanding of these relationships and how they influence the nonprofit sector.

Background:
The Fiscal Sponsor Directory is produced and maintained by the San Francisco Study Center, a multiservice nonprofit organization that disseminates information about public interest issues. The center is a member of the National Network of Fiscal Sponsors, which works to professionalize the field, provide assistance to sponsors and projects designed to improve financial management, and spark organizational development throughout the nonprofit sector.

Outstanding Web Features:
Visitors to the directory can search for a fiscal sponsor by state, category, or keyword. Each organizational snapshot includes a short description, contact information, eligibility criteria and fees, and services rendered and offered to community partners. Site visitors also can review the chronology and history of fiscal sponsorship and check out resources related to the field.
