Fiscal sponsorship is a practice that has evolved as an effective and efficient means of starting new charitable initiatives, delivering public services, and seeding social movements. It sits at the heart of Tides Center's services by providing a legal framework to our projects. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, Tides Center is legally and financially responsible for every project we fiscally sponsor. Projects are not separate entities or affiliated organizations - projects are Tides Center.
