Fiscal Sponsorship
Maine Inside Out supports mission-aligned independent artists, organizations, and groups without 501(c)(3) tax status to apply for grant funding through formal fiscal sponsorship.
Through fiscal sponsorship, MIO supports visionary artists and organizations in the practical process of resourcing their ideas, reducing the administrative burden on artists and projects and amplifying the collective community impact on social change.
MIO has spent over a decade building out a strong administrative and financial infrastructure, and is now in a position to offer support to others.
