The Infrastructure
Behind Your Mission.

BCD Alliance provides fiscal sponsorship for BIPOC-led projects and community organizations — so you can access grants, accept tax-deductible donations, and operate with full financial credibility.

Who This Serves

Built for those who
build communities.

BCD Alliance's fiscal sponsorship program was designed for the people most often left out of traditional funding pipelines.

01

Nonprofits Needing a Fiscal Home

You are doing meaningful charitable work but do not yet have 501(c)(3) status. BCD Alliance provides the legal and financial structure so funders can give to your project with full tax deductibility.

02

Community Orgs Needing Capacity Support

Our comprehensive sponsorship model takes on financial management, compliance, and operational oversight so you can focus on impact.

Funders Looking to Deploy Through BCD

BCD Alliance is the infrastructure partner that ensures funds are managed, tracked, and reported with integrity.

What It Is

Your legal and financial
launchpad.

Fiscal sponsorship is a partnership where BCD Alliance — a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit — provides the legal and financial structure your project needs to operate as a charitable initiative, without requiring you to create your own nonprofit.

Through BCD Alliance, BIPOC leaders gain access to the same infrastructure, credibility, and funding pathways that established organizations have benefited from for decades.

"You bring the vision. We provide the infrastructure, financial oversight, and guardrails to help you operate responsibly and grow with confidence."

Through fiscal sponsorship, your project can:

Accept tax-deductible donations from individuals and foundations
Apply for and receive foundation grants
Operate charitable programs under a credible 501(c)(3) umbrella
Access IRS-compliant donor acknowledgment letters
Be included in annual independent audits and 990 reporting
Focus on mission, not administrative burden
Build credibility with funders from day one
