What is Fiscal Sponsorship?
Fiscal sponsorship is where Soul Bloom, a 501(c)(3), sponsors your project or organization allowing it tax exempt status. This affords you an alternative to the expense and management of starting, then maintaining, your own nonprofit. Once your application is approved, and our agreement is signed, you can seek grants and solicit tax-deductible donations under Soul Bloom’s exempt status.
We call the projects we sponsor BLOOMS~
Soul Bloom sponsors charitable projects that are Inspiring, Empowering, or Educating. It sponsors projects that minister to, and serve others.
Your projects can serve others through PERSONAL MINISTRY. There is no denying the call to serve and minister to others. Let us act as your “nonprofit fiscal sponsor” so that you can focus your time and talents on your ministry.
Your projects can serve others through a CHARITABLE CAUSE. They can serve your community by helping the underprivileged or poor. Or they can help protect animals or the environment. Let us act as your “nonprofit fiscal sponsor” so that you can focus your time and talents on your charity.
Your projects can serve others through EDUCATION. Maybe you want to produce your own TED Talk that not only educates us, but also inspires and empowers it’s viewers? Or, your passion is to educate us on the plight of veterans who suffer from PTSD?
Your projects can serve others through the ARTS. Maybe you want to do a documentary film educating us about domestic violence? You may be a musician who writes songs about getting through a bad breakup? If you’re a writer, you are always inspiring, or empowering, or educating others. Dance, or poetry, or sculpture, or photography, or any other form of artistic expression, may be your way to serve others. If art is your way to inspire, empower, educate, and minister to others, let Soul Bloom help you fund your project.
