Advantages of Choosing FJC as a Fiscal Sponsor:
Low Administrative Fees & Potential Investment Income
FJC maintains some of the lowest fees for fiscal sponsorship available in the industry. In addition, FJC is one of the few organizations that offers the opportunity to earn income on the funds while they are held in an account. Any interest earned on the account balance is applied to the account and is available for the project, which helps offset the administrative fees. The investment income will help offset the administrative fees on the account.
Up-to-date Access to Your Account Information
Participants can access their account balance, view past activity and previous Quarterly Statements of Activity on the FJC DonorWeb. This will allow participants to see who has contributed to the account, what payables are in process, etc. If there is any additional information needed that is not available online FJC will provide the information as needed.
Funds are Available for Distribution at Any time
Participants can request distributions at any time and there is no maximum number of distributions that can be processed during a set period. There is no minimum balance that must be achieved in the account before funds can be released.
Many other organizations have a $500 minimum before funds can be released and limit the number of checks that can be written in a month or quarter.
Large Selection of Contribution Formats for Donors
FSP donors can send contributions in the form of checks, appreciated securities (including mutual funds), via credit card or wire transfer, and other FJC pre-approved forms of property. Contributions of appreciated securities or other property, held for at least one year, are deductible at their fair market value. Donors do not pay capital gains tax on the appreciation.
Flexible Contribution Amounts
FJC will accept gifts of any denomination, in a wide range of formats, for a project at any time. There is no minimum dollar amount per contribution, or maximum number of contributions that can be received in a period.
Foundation Grants
A Fiscal Sponsorship account allows participants to apply for foundation grants for which it would otherwise not qualify for as a non-tax-exempt organization. FJC will review grant agreements with third party foundations on your behalf.
