About Fiscal Sponsorship

Fiscal Sponsorship is a fundraising tool that serves as an alternative to a filmmaker establishing her own 501 (c)(3) nonprofit corporation. It allows a filmmaker’s non-commercial project to apply for funding from organizations requiring that the recipient have nonprofit status. As fiscal sponsor, Arts Engine, Inc., serves as the nonprofit tax-exempt umbrella organization that accepts and administers contributions made to a filmmaker’s project.
Arts Engine has served as fiscal sponsor for such outstanding films as The Trials of Darryl Hunt by Ricki Stern and Anne Sundberg, Favela Rising by Matt Mochary and Jeff Zimbalist, and God Grew Tired of Us: The Story of the Lost Boys of Sudan by Christopher Dillon Quinn and Tommy Walker.
