Resources
NEW MOVEMENT RESOURCE!
Movement for Family compiled information on fiscal sponsors currently accepting applications and resources for becoming a 501(c)(3) organization. This document was created in the wake of Open Collective Foundation’s decision to close, leaving over 600 organizations without a fiscal and administrative home. Many of these organizations are grassroots efforts founded by leaders in the communities they serve.
**This guide is meant to provide info and is not an endorsement of the fiscal sponsors and clinics listed. Please do your own due diligence and if you have any questions, feel free to contact us.**
