Fiscal Sponsorship through Lifespan.io is a means by which the 501(c)(3)
organization LEAF can support projects that agree with our nonprofit mission,
regardless of whether they are run by non-profit or for-profit entities.

What is Fiscal Sponsorship?

Fiscal Sponsors are 501(c)(3) non-profit charitable organizations which can provide support to and receive charitable contributions for specific projects that are in agreement with their non-profit mission statement.

Working with a fiscal sponsor enables an organization that does not itself qualify as tax-exempt to attract funding for its project that will, through the fiscal sponsor, be potentially tax-deductible to donors.

What is required to be eligible for Fiscal Sponsorship through Lifespan.io?

To be eligible for Fiscal Sponsorship via Lifespan.io a project must meet the following criteria:

2. The project must have clearly defined goals.

3. The project results must be made publically available in some form (patent, publication, etc.), in a timely manner upon project completion.

Upon project approval our Fiscal Sponsorship Agreement must also be agreed to and signed.
