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.
BCD Alliance's fiscal sponsorship program was designed for the people most often left out of traditional funding pipelines.
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.
Our comprehensive sponsorship model takes on financial management, compliance, and operational oversight so you can focus on impact.
BCD Alliance is the infrastructure partner that ensures funds are managed, tracked, and reported with integrity.
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."
BCD Alliance offers two fiscal sponsorship structures depending on how much operational support your project needs.
Your project operates as a program of BCD Alliance with full financial management, HR, payroll, compliance, and operational oversight handled by our team.
