Here’s a list of possible areas of activities in which ACT can provide fiscal sponsorship:

• Children, youth and families
• Drug treatment
• Economic development
• Health/nutrition
• Housing
• Mental health
• People or communities of color/minorities
• Political advocacy/social justice
• Social services

As a fiscal sponsor ACT has the ability to receive charitable contributions for specific projects, the infrastructure to ensure compliance with applicable federal and state laws and adequate internal controls to ensure that the funds will be used for the intended charitable purposes. Simply stated, ACT can ensure appropriate fiduciary oversight while keeping the responsibility for implementing programs in the hands of the project leaders.

ACT’s role as the fiscal sponsor can include performing many different administrative functions on behalf of the sponsored organization or program, including taking on the responsibility of receiving and administering charitable contributions on behalf of the sponsored organization. Some fiscal sponsors do a lot more, such as performing back-office functions.
