A fiscal sponsor is a public charity seeking funds for a project compatible with its own mission but implemented by an organization without a public charity status with the IRS. Please click here for further explanation and to see fiscal sponsor guidelines or for additional information please see Fiscal Sponsorship: Six Ways To Do It Right (http://www.amazon.com/Fiscal-Sponsorship-Ways-Do-Right/dp/1888956070 or http://www.adlercolvin.com/pdf/grantmaking/six_ways.pdf).  

A parent organization holds ownership over other (subsidiary) entities (or chapters). Or an entity (subsidiary organization) is under the common control or ownership of a parent group. A parent may either list its subsidiary(ies) as part of their group exemption (on their IRS 501(c)(3) determination letter) or simply recognize the entity as a chapter under its main organization.

A subsidiary organization does not have an IRS determination letter in its own name but will either (1) be named as part of a group exemption on another organization's IRS 501(c)(3) determination letter or (2) will be recognized as a chapter of another organization who has its own IRS 501(c)(3) determination letter.

In our Letter of Inquiry, we ask for an executive summary, and on a Grant Request, we ask for additional information. They can be viewed here.

Benchmarks/Outcomes are measurable changes or improvements in your target population in relation to behavior, attitudes, knowledge, or skills.

After logging into your account, you can view the status of your LOIs and Grant Requests on your Dashboard. If your LOI and Grant Request have been submitted, they will only have a ‘View’ option. If they have not been submitted then a ‘View’ and ‘Edit’ options will be available. You will also receive a confirmation email each time a Letter of Inquiry and Grant Request is submitted and received.

At this time, LOIs will not be made available to edit after submission. Grant Requests will be reopened for edits on a case-by-case basis if a Maclellan Foundation, Inc. staff member deems it necessary and instructions on how to make edits will be emailed to the Grant Request primary contact. 

All information submitted is confidential, encrypted, and secure. It will not be shared with any other organization or individual without your previously written permission.

A fiscal agent is an organization that serves as an intermediary or "conduit" for funding for another organization or project and does not accept the legal responsibilities of a fiscal sponsor. We will not accept grant requests from fiscal agents. Further information on the difference between fiscal agents and fiscal sponsors is available on the Council on Foundations website.
