CLE Accredited Live Webinar (for newly admitted and experienced attorneys):  Understanding and Negotiating Fiscal Sponsorships   

Wednesday, February 26, 2025, 12:00 p.m. - 1:00 p.m.

Fiscal sponsorships allow a non-tax-exempt organization to fundraise and operate under the umbrella of a tax-exempt, 501(c)(3) organization which acts as the fiscal sponsor. Join us as we discuss fiscal sponsorship structuring options, the advantages and disadvantages of fiscal sponsorships (especially for small organizations), and common legal issues in such arrangements. Participants will be able to understand how to advise clients considering a fiscal sponsorship arrangement, as well as guide clients who are currently in such an arrangement.

Presenters: Ciarra Chavarria, Senior Staff Attorney, and Elizabeth Wytock, Staff Attorney
