Fiscal
Sponsorships
for Social Ventures
Supporting mission-aligned community development.
Building community.
The Community Capital Fund (CCF) supports local community development and social entrepreneurship through its Fiscal Sponsorship program. CCF’s Fiscal Sponsorship program, which utilizes a Model C (grantor-grantee structure), provides an alternative to starting a nonprofit for mission-aligned, community development projects in the Greater Kansas City region.
Social entrepreneurs selected for this program are able to seek grants and tax-deductible donations without having their own 501(c)(3) status, thus increasing the capacity and impact of their projects. To apply, download and complete the CCF Fiscal Sponsorship Guidelines and Application. It is required that you schedule time to meet with the CCF Program Manager to discuss your project prior to submitting your application.
