Fiscal Sponsorship Program
Amplify Your Impact: Fiscal Sponsorship for Mental and Health Justice Health Initiatives
Your mission is to heal. Let us handle the paperwork. Back Mental Health Village provides the financial and administrative backbone so you can focus on building your community and providing community healing.
What is Fiscal Sponsorship?
A fiscal sponsorship is a powerful partnership where a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization (like Back Mental Health Village) agrees to provide financial and administrative oversight to a mission-aligned Program (like yours!). This allows your initiative to seek grants and receive tax-deductible donations without having to obtain its own 501(c)(3) status.
Is Our Program Right for You?
Our Fiscal Sponsorship program is designed for emerging leaders, grassroots organizers, and passionate advocates who are:
-
Launching a new mental health program, support group, or community event.
-
Developing a creative Program (film, art, podcast) that destigmatizes mental health.
-
Conducting research or educational initiatives aligned with our mission.
-
In the process of applying for 501(c)(3) status but need to start operating and fundraising now.
Our Shared Values:
We seek partners whose work aligns with our core mission to foster community, provide accessible resources, and promote holistic mental wellness for all. Learn more about our values.
