FISCALLY SPONSORED PROJECTS
Fiscal sponsorship gives an administrative home to new social change organizations who don’t have or need their own 501-c3 by providing accounting, tax, HR, strategy and fundraising support. OAEC is honored to play this important role to host and incubate nascent social movement projects and programs, and we are proud to feature their work here.
OAEC has had a long history of offering fiscal sponsorship, including our flagship fiscally sponsored project, CalCAN, which grew from a tiny seed of an idea to a large statewide coalition over the course of their ten years with us. We prioritize working with projects with whom we have had long-standing programmatic relationships.
