The Community Foundation of Washington County (CFWC) recognizes the importance, beyond its role as a grant maker, of foundation involvement in and support of community initiatives and other charitable endeavors.
Fiscal sponsorships are common to community foundations. They are also essential in meeting the changing opportunities and needs of the Washington County area. Therefore, CFWC may choose to provide fiscal and project sponsorships for charitable projects that further the purpose and mission of the Foundation.
Sponsorship services include the capacity for the project of another entity to receive tax-deductible contributions by the Community Foundation of Washington County, the receipting and managing of contributions, and the authorization and payment of grants and expenses from the fund created for the project. Sponsorship services do not include extensive administrative, fundraising or financial support.
The primary beneficiaries of sponsorship services are typically new charities without 501(c)(3) status and community groups planning a specific or finite project that is clearly charitable in nature and in furtherance of the charitable purposes of the CFWC.
The CFWC has adopted the following guidelines which are designed to protect the interest(s) of donors and the CFWC. The CFWC reserves the right to either accept or decline any fund. It also reserves the right to close a fund. The CFWC will consider each situation individually.
