Fiscal Sponsorship
Institute for Sustainable Futures fiscal sponsorship process provides emerging systems change leaders with the resources and support needed to move beyond pilot phases into sustained impact. Through this support, groundbreaking ideas in [renewable energy, climate adaptation, circular economy, environmental justice and more] have the opportunity to evolve into solidified organizations or remain fixtures in ISF’s portfolio.
We seek projects that demonstrate innovative approaches to systems change, show potential for scale, and complement our existing programmatic strengths. This model allows us to expand our impact while providing project founders with the stability and resources of an established organization committed to their long-term success.
