Indiegogo has partnered with Fractured Atlas to provide a single platform to integrate fiscal sponsorship and online funding campaigns

About Fractured Atlas

Fractured Atlas and Indiegogo have partnered to provide a single platform to integrate fiscal sponsorship and crowdfunding. Fractured Atlas is a non-profit organization that serves a national community of artists and art organizations, helping them function more effectively as businesses. All projects fiscally sponsored by Fractured Atlas can raise money on Indiegogo at no cost, and offer tax deductions on the funds raised.

What is Fiscal Sponsorship?

Fiscal Sponsorship is a financial and legal system by which a legally recognized 501(c)(3) public charity (such as Fractured Atlas) provides limited financial and legal oversight for a campaign initiated independently by an artist. That campaign might be a one-time project or an independent artist or even an arts organization that does not have its own 501(c)(3) status. Once sponsored in this way, the campaign is eligible to solicit and receive grants and tax-deductible contributions that are normally available only to 501(c)(3) organizations.
