Question: Can We Use a Fiscal Sponsor to Get Grants?
Answer:

Yes, fiscal sponsorship does work for grants. You would use a fiscal sponsor if your organization does not yet have 501(c)(3) status. Most granters are restricted from providing grants to any organization that is not a 501(c)(3) nonprofit.

If you do use a fiscal sponsor, be sure to include this information in your grant proposal. Your fiscal sponsor will likely have guidelines for handling this information in a grant proposal.
