Fiscal Sponsorship

Supporting independent LGBTQ+ programs and initiatives

What is Fiscal Sponsorship?

Fiscal sponsorship allows independent programs and projects to operate under SF Pride's 501(c)(3) nonprofit status, enabling them to receive tax-deductible donations and apply for grants while maintaining their unique missions and identities.

As a fiscally sponsored program, organizations benefit from SF Pride's administrative infrastructure, financial management, and nonprofit expertise—allowing them to focus on their community-focused work.
