Fiscal Sponsorship

As an ongoing service within the community, WAESN serves as a fiscal sponsor for small projects and groups looking to do meaningful work in Washington State. WAESN serves as the administrative home of the cause, lending 501(c)(3) or 501(c)(4) status to the project or group. WAESN can provide fiduciary oversight, financial management, and other administrative services depending on the agreed administrative rate.

WAESN evaluates each project on its own merits through criteria established in WAESN’s Fiscal Sponsorship Policy to ensure alignment with WAESN’s mission and vision. Final terms will be outlined through a formal fiscal sponsorship agreement should the application be approved.

FEES

The minimum fiscal sponsorship fee charged by WAESN is 5% to cover the administrative costs of sponsorship, including fiduciary oversight and fiscal management. The fiscal sponsorship fee will range between 5% and 15% depending on the support level required from the sponsee as determined by the Evaluation Criteria and Considerations.
