Fiscal Sponsorship Agreement

The administrative fee

Conservancy keeps 10% from most of our projects, although we occasionally negotiate a higher administrative fee with event-focused projects. (Events tend to be our most time-consuming type of project to support.) The ten percent generally does not cover all of the work we do on your behalf, but it helps.

Notes for non-software projects

We ask that materials provided by our learning or event-based programs are offered under a CC, CC.BY or CC.BY.SA license so that they can be shared. If you are exploring a different open liscence, please talk to us first and our team of lawyers will help you navigate the best type for your project.

Events

There are a lot of opportunities to sell influence, stage time or audience attention that is not consonant with a "non-profit event." If you only ever worked on a for-profit event, these stipulations can be tricky to navigate. If you're applying to join Conservancy and your main activity is an event, please take a minute to read more about the kinds of events that are within our mission scope.
