WHAT WE DO
We operate at the intersection of government and philanthropy, allowing us to provide a unique suite of services for the City of Baltimore and community-based organizations. As a fiscal sponsor, the Civic Fund serves as the financial backbone for public-private partnerships between innovative City programs and the philanthropic community. Fiscal sponsors are IRS-designated 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations that serve as financial and administrative supports for other mission-driven organizations. Fiscal sponsors accept the responsibility of effectively managing public and charitable funds of partner organizations under their own tax-exempt umbrella. Our services allow City agencies to raise funds and accept philanthropic investments, while providing the assurance to investors that contributions are managed with the highest level of integrity and accuracy.
