Fiscal Sponsorship Application - Quarterly Cycle #2 FY27

Ends on

NYFA Fiscal Sponsorship Application

This is the quarterly application cycle. Deadline: Monday, November 30 at 11:59 PM ET.

Part 1: Eligibility Questionnaire

You will start with a short eligibility questionnaire to determine if fiscal sponsorship is a good fit and which track applies to you: Artist Projects (for individual artists and unincorporated groups) or Emerging Organizations (for state-incorporated nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status). If you are not eligible, you will find out here, before investing time in the full application.

Part 2: Review the Application Guide

If you are eligible, you will find a link to the NYFA Fiscal Sponsorship Application Guide. Please review it before starting the full application. The guide explains what each section asks for and includes examples to help you submit a strong application. Links back to the guide also appear throughout the application.

Part 3: Application

Once you have reviewed the guide, you can begin the full application. You can save your progress at any time by scrolling to the bottom and clicking “Save Draft.” Return whenever you are ready, but make sure to submit before the deadline.

Part 4: After You Submit

After the cycle closes on November 30, we may invite you to a Zoom call to walk through your application. You will receive a final decision within five weeks of the November 30 deadline.

We use Submittable Messenger to communicate with applicants, so make sure your notifications are turned on: How to change notification settings

Fees

This is a no-fee application as part of our quarterly application cycle. However, if your project is accepted into NYFA Fiscal Sponsorship, there is a $150 onboarding fee, which covers your first year as a sponsored project.
