Springboard's Fiscal Sponsorship and Incubator Program is designed mostly for arts groups and projects organized as an entity (nonprofit, association or collective), though we sponsor a small number of individual artist projects as well. Sponsorees may not be for-profit organizations (i.e. incorporated as an LLC or S-Corp.) Sponsored projects must be arts-related and fit with the mission of Springboard for the Arts. Applications are approved on an ongoing basis by the Executive Director and ratified monthly by our Board of Directors.
