Fiscal Sponsorship
At the basic level, a fiscal sponsor gives your project tax exempt nonprofit status and the related benefits that entails. The process to become a 501(c)(3) can be slow and difficult to navigate, and staying in good standing is an ongoing challenge. A fiscal sponsor can get you up and running quickly and allow you to apply for nonprofit grants and solicit tax deductible donations right out of the gate. Comprehensive fiscal sponsorship goes beyond access to funding and supports your project administratively, freeing you up to focus on your goals instead of paperwork.
Who Represents Me? Legislator Look Up
We estimate that less than 7% of people know who their State Legislators are. If people don't know who represents them, they can't connect to them to inform them, speak out, and ultimately hold them accountable. We invite everyone and anyone in the United States to use our WhoRepresentsMe.Info site encourage other nonprofits and groups to share this link with their supporters to help encourage more effective advocacy.
