Every year the Schools Fund receives and distributes funds to support an array of unique district projects and programs through Fiscal Sponsorships. The Schools Fund is the primary provider of fiscal sponsor services for programs and projects in Berkeley schools.

How It Works. Groups or individuals who have arranged to support or provide a specific activity in the schools and are seeking a 501(c)3 administrator for their funds may enter into a fiscal sponsorship agreement with the Schools Fund. The Schools Fund typically charges a 10% administrative fee (15% in rare circumstances) on funds deposited, and requires a brief annual check-in.

Interested in Fiscal Sponsorship? The Schools Fund is currently at capacity with fiscal sponsorships, with a waiting list. To learn more or add your project to the waiting list, contact Executive Director Duffy Ross (duffyross@schoolsfund.berkeley.net).
