Community Initiatives is a nonprofit organization that provides fiscal sponsorship services to various projects and groups, enabling them to focus on their missions without the burden of managing administrative tasks. They make money by charging a fee for their fiscal sponsorship services, which includes financial management, human resources, and legal compliance support. Founded in 1996, the organization has a history of empowering grassroots projects by offering them the infrastructure needed to operate effectively and sustainably. Their work is crucial for small and emerging nonprofits that lack the resources to handle complex administrative responsibilities on their own.
