## Description

The New York Foundation for the Arts (NYFA) offers a fiscal sponsorship program designed to support artists, cultural workers, and emerging art organizations in developing and realizing creative projects. This program extends NYFA's 501(c)(3) nonprofit status to selected projects, enabling them to raise funds and apply for grants that require a fiscal sponsor. Benefits include staff assistance for project management, fundraising strategy development, and grant application feedback, as well as a dedicated profile page on the NYFA website with a donation portal. While there are free application cycles, out-of-cycle applications are available year-round for a fee. Projects can be international, provided the director has a US Taxpayer Identifying Number and the project benefits US audiences.
