Fiscal Agency 501(c)(3) Sponsorship

Fiscal Agency 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 tax exempt 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Fiscal Agency, 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 purpose as it appears in our Articles of Incorporation:

The purpose/mission of the organization shall be to provide leadership and resources for arts organizations, artists, educators, and the community of Boulder County.

Fiscal Agency requires that the Arts Alliance accept programmatic and fiscal responsibility for the applicant; therefore, Fiscal Agency 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.

Application deadlines are February 15th and September 1st. An annual report is due on December 15th. In the event these dates fall on a Saturday, Sunday or holiday, the deadline will be on the following business day. Coaching sessions on these Fiscal Agency applications will be held one week prior to these deadlines.
