The Fiscal Sponsorship Program offered by BDA enables performing artists and groups to accumulate the funds they need to make their artistic and career goals a reality. Sponsorship provides independent performing artists and groups [dance related] with:
- Eligibility to apply for most government, foundation, and corporate grants which require a 501(c)3 not-for-profit status
- Eligibility to receive tax-deductible donations of money from individuals where 501(c) 3 status is necessary.
In addition participants in this program will gain access to workshops focusing on both visions and plans for the future and the legal issues associated with forming corporations.
For all monies raised up to $5,000 BDA deducts 10% of the contribution for administrative and accounting costs with the balance paid to the member as an artist fee. All funds raised above $5,000 and BDA will deduct a lower %.
