How to become fiscally sponsored by the Study Center

San Francisco Study Center, a fiscal sponsor since 1975, accepts projects that help the community. Study Center’s mission, to help nonprofits succeed, utilizes fiscal sponsorship as the main means to accomplish our mission.

If your project can enrich the community it serves, and needs a fiscal sponsor to do so, contact us.

Study Center does not require prospective projects to already have big money in the bank. A charitable undertaking that meets a need in the community, and a realistic plan for making it happen, can get the process started.

Study Center’s sponsored projects receive comprehensive financial management services and administrative support that enables them to hit the ground running:

• Tax-deductibility for donors under Study Center’s 501(c)(3)
• Accounting and tax reporting and monthly financial reports
• Bookkeeping with check writing for all expenses
• Payroll and human resources for your employees. This includes full health benefits and comprehensive personnel policies
• Insurance — general liability, workers’ comp, professional liability and other insurance all at cost
• Editorial and design help with websites, reports and other materials for a modest fee

Study Center is here to help our projects succeed. Ask for what you need and we will do our best to help you get it.
