Congregate Charlottesville

 
F I S C A L S P O N S O R S H I P

One of the ways Congregate serves the Charlottesville community is by serving as a fiscal sponsor to groups that align with Congregate’s mission.  Fiscal sponsorship allows local BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) led groups, and groups with an anti-racism focus, that are not ready to incorporate as non-profits a low-barrier, free-of-charge way to exist and organize without the fiscal and organizational burden.

Groups we have sponsored, or are currently sponsoring:

• Black Women Stitch

• Black Youth Action Committee

• Fire Flower Farm (Kents Store, VA)

• Cville Food Co-op

• Black Girl Builders

• CreativeMornings Charlottesville

What is fiscal sponsorship?

• Fiscal sponsorship means that Congregate is providing a way for a group to raise money and spend money within a structure of community accountability. 

• Congregate offers a two year fiscal sponsorship which can be renewed for an additional two years.

• The goal is that at the end of the first two year sponsorship, the given group will have a sense of direction in terms of their non-profit and/or fiscal bookkeeping needs.

• This fiscal sponsorship can be canceled (and any monies returned) at any time by either party with 48 hours written notice. 

If your group is interested in becoming a fiscal sponsorship partner with Congregate, send us an email.
