Lift Up Africa offers fiscal sponsorship services to individuals and projects that do not have 501(c)(3) non-profit tax-exempt status. These projects must operate exclusively to meet the broad provisions of our incorporation statement which is to support humanitarian and education projects on the African continent.
Fiscal sponsorship broadens the available funding avenues an individual or project can pursue.
However, fiscal sponsorship does not provide grants. Additionally, it is a common practice to charge a small administrative fee to cover sponsorship expenses. This is a sliding scale that is dependent on how much work Lift Up Africa, the sponsoring agency, would be required to do.
If you have questions or would like to receive a copy of our application packet, please contact us at info@liftupafrica.org.
