Fiscal Sponsorship

Deadline :

• February 15
• September 15
• December 15

Description

Diversifying your sources of funding pays off! Fiscal sponsorship is part of the Conseil’s General Financial Assistance for Arts Organizations and is intended for institutions that do not have official charity status. For these arts organizations, it is an ideal way to solicit donations from foundations, corporations and individuals. 

The Conseil will issue tax receipts to contributors. Given that participating artistic organizations must be eligible for funding from the Conseil, and that selection for Fiscal Sponsorship is based on standards of excellence and good governance, this serves as an incentive and security for donors.

Private fundraising can present a major challenge to artistic organizations. So don’t hesitate to consult our Business-Arts Service.

Eligibility

Interested organizations must:

• be registered as a non-profit organization and in operation for at least one year;
• be based in Greater Montreal for at least one year;
• have a Board of Directors composed mainly of Canadian citizens or landed immigrants;
• be concerned primarily with the creation, production and presentation of artistic activities;
• not be registered as a charitable institution.

Ineligibility

The following are ineligible: individual artists, artist collectives, organizations working in variety shows and song. Applications for activities previously or currently being produced are also ineligible.
