FISCAL SPONSORSHIP
Noo Art offers fiscal sponsorship by extending our 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status to independent artists, collectives, and emerging arts organizations across various disciplines (such as dance, theater, music, film, and visual arts). This framework allows artists to raise funds without needing to establish their own non-profit status.
Key Features of Noo Arts’ Fiscal Sponsorship Program
Grant Eligibility: Sponsored artists can apply for foundation, corporate, and government grants (such as NYSCA grants) that strictly require 501(c)(3) status. Noo Arts acts as the legal applicant or custodian to receive and disburse grant funds.
Tax-Deductible Donations & Crowdfunding: Participants can accept tax-deductible, charitable donations from individual donors and launch crowdfunding campaigns through our platform. Noo Arts handles tax receipts and thank-you documentation for donors.
Financial & Administrative Support: Sponsored projects receive fund management, accounting processing, payment disbursements, and standard 1099 reporting for tax purposes.
Curated Access: While open to all artists regardless of career stage, we only select proposals that are aligned with Noo Arts’ mission and values.
Proposal submission guidelines TBA soon; in the interim, please reach out for more information!
