The Arts Council can help you raise funds for your artistic work by serving as your fiscal sponsor. Fiscal Sponsorship allows you to solicit tax-deductible donations and apply for grants without having a 501(c)3. This program is open to all artists and organizations in every artistic discipline within the Greater New Haven region. There is an 8% administration fee on all funds raised. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis. 

Eligible organizations must operate within one (or more) of the towns in our service region: Bethany, Branford, Cheshire, East Haven, Guilford, Hamden, Madison, Meriden, Milford, New Haven, North Branford, North Haven, Orange, Wallingford, West Haven, and Woodbridge. 

What people are saying about our Fiscal Sponsorship program:

"The Arts Council is a true catalyst for our work. Their seamless administrative systems and consistent emotional support have removed the friction from our process, allowing us to move at record speed. They don't just sponsor our projects, they accelerate our ability to turn vision into action." - Miles Lasater, Know Your Neighbors Fund
