BCAA Fiscal Sponsorship Program
Fiscal Sponsorship entitles individual artists and cultural organizations without 501(c)(3) status to apply to funders under the auspices of the Boulder County Arts Alliance, Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Fiscal Sponsorship, therefore, is essentially a re-granting program for grant awards and contributions to specific pre-approved artists or organizations intended for purposes directly related to the Boulder County Arts Alliance (a.k.a. Arts Alliance) purpose as it appears in our Articles of Incorporation:
The purpose of the organization shall be to provide leadership and resources for arts organizations, artists, educators, and the community of Boulder County.
Fiscal Sponsorship requires that the Arts Alliance accept programmatic and fiscal responsibility for the applicant; therefore, Fiscal Sponsorship is offered to members who demonstrate a high level of professional practice in the management of their endeavors. Accordingly, the attached application is designed to provide the Arts Alliance Artist Services Committee with sufficient information to determine whether or not to accept these responsibilities on behalf of the applicant.
Applications are accepted on an ongoing basis. Please contact us to schedule a brief coaching session prior to submitting your application.
