Empowerment Works

Since 2001, Empowerment WORKS has provided nonprofit fiscal sponsorship (Model A) services to projects advancing our mission towards a thriving, socially just world. In addition to saving projects time and money by sharing 501c3 related admin costs and management, Fiscal Sponsorship allows them to build track-records, infrastructure and a long-term... support community. On average, nonprofits spend 20% on administration. EW accepts an admin fee of 5% of gross revenue (or 10% for foreign projects without a US representative) allowing 95% of donor funds to go directly to fiscally sponsored project needs. In addition, EW fiscally sponsored projects become part of EW's multi-sector network of Partners in Empowerment, gaining access to 7 Stages to Sustainability (7SS) education, and other capacity building and outreach opportunities. To learn more / see if Fiscal Sponsorship is right for you, we recommend reading the National Network of Fiscal Sponsorship's Guidelines for Comprehensive Fiscal Sponsorship as well asthis PDF summary of "Fiscal Sponsorship: 6 Ways to Do it Right". To find a fiscal sponsor matching your initiative, see Fiscal Sponsorship Directory (including Empowerment WORKS).
