Just in time for giving season, we are excited to announce the launch of FS Charitable Fund (FSCF), a new fiscal sponsorship program designed to help changemakers respond quickly to temporary or targeted needs. FSCF is an IRS-approved 501(c)(3) public charity that provides fiscal sponsorship through our integrated, technology-enabled philanthropic platform. This new offering opens doors for individuals, grassroots initiatives, and emerging nonprofit projects to pursue their charitable goals with the support of an established 501(c)(3).
Focus On What Matters: Driving Meaningful Change
Starting a nonprofit or launching a charitable project often comes with administrative and compliance hurdles. FSCF removes these barriers by offering:
- Grants Management – Streamlined processes for receiving and distributing funds.
- Compliance Oversight – Ensuring accountability and transparency for every initiative.
With FSCF, project leaders can focus on their mission, while we handle the back-office essentials.
More Opportunities For Donors to Contribute to the Causes They Care About
FSCF expands the range of charitable opportunities available to donors. By sponsoring mission-driven projects, we make it easier for givers to support innovative ideas with confidence. Every project undergoes due diligence and has oversight from FSCF’s independent board, ensuring responsible stewardship of resources.
“With the launch of FSCF’s fiscal sponsorship program, we are addressing a critical gap in philanthropy by streamlining the path for innovative projects and grassroots initiatives to get started and thrive,” said CEO Joe Mrak. “This new offering from FSCF enables changemakers to focus on their mission while giving donors more opportunities to support emerging ideas with confidence. It reflects our commitment to expanding the tools and solutions that help maximize impact, including the technology that unifies a range of philanthropic services into a single, coordinated platform.”
For Nonprofits and Emerging Initiatives
Fiscal sponsorship offers a practical alternative for emerging nonprofits awaiting 501(c)(3) recognition—often a 6- to 12-month window, or longer, pending the IRS’s approval of charity status. FSCF provides:
- A comprehensive fiscal sponsorship agreement
- Professional oversight and compliance support
- Seamless and responsible collaboration
- A focus on mission-driven work
“Fiscal sponsorship allows emerging initiatives to focus on their mission with proper oversight, compliance, and accountability,” said Chief Legal Officer Jeffrey Haskell. “This structure helps donors support charitable projects they care about with confidence, knowing those resources are being managed responsibly.”
Expanding Philanthropic Solutions
The launch of FSCF reflects our commitment to delivering a comprehensive suite of philanthropic capabilities for donors, nonprofits and organizations. By integrating fiscal sponsorship into our technology-enabled platform—already supporting private foundations, donor-advised funds, and planned giving programs—we continue to innovate in PhilTech to meet the evolving needs of donors and nonprofits.
