Benefits of FC Fiscal Sponsorship
Competitive Fees
Fiscal sponsorship fees vary from organization to organization and in some cases may be 10% of the contribution.
FC fees are among the lowest in the industry at 5% for the first $250,000 raised and lowers to 4% after that threshold is reached.
24/7 Access to Materials and FC Members
• FC members have 24/7 access to materials they need for their proposals and a mechanism by which to communicate with other FC members via the FC Google Group
Online Donations
• FC allows for individuals, companies or foundations to donate directly to your film through the FC website via Paypal.
Foundation Directory Online
FC members have access to the Foundation Center’s online directory which lists 77,000 grantmakers, public charities and direct giving programs, plus grantees.
Individual Consultations
FC staff can discuss fundraising, treatments, budgets and distribution with you. And being in a collaborative means having the expertise of many experienced filmmakers at your fingertips. FC members are welcome to come to the office to look through sample proposals, treatments, and budgets from FC projects and to view completed films or to borrow books.
Feedback on Work
FC offers members the opportunity to show a demo reel, rough cut, or fine cut to the membership or to get feedback on a treatment or proposal.
Discounts at workshops
FC members benefit from a discounted rate at all of the workshops and conferences we sponsor, such as our annual Making Media Now conference.
Marketing
FC maintains a web site where we feature members’ projects and bios, offer online donation-making, and publicize upcoming member broadcasts, screenings and events.
