Fiscal Sponsorship

When you donate through CIF on behalf of a fiscally sponsored project:

• Your contribution is tax-deductible

• Funds are restricted for the designated project

• CIF ensures funds are used in compliance with nonprofit regulations

To give, donate directly using this link, or email giving@cifimpact.org for direct deposit information.

Your generosity fuels impact—backed by accountability, transparency, and shared purpose.

CIF partners with mission-aligned projects to enable tax-deductible giving to accelerate impact—without requiring a standalone nonprofit.

Under a fiscal sponsorship agreement, donations are made through CIF and designated for an approved project, being carried out by another organization, that has social benefit and aligns with CIF’s mission. We provide financial oversight and nonprofit compliance, while project teams lead the work and outcomes.

We sponsor:

• Early-stage initiatives preparing for nonprofit formation

• Organizations advancing charitable work without 501(c)(3) status

• For-profit teams running clearly defined, mission-driven projects

Fiscal sponsorship allows strong ideas to move forward responsibly, with the right structure in place.

What Mission Alignment Means

Mission alignment means the project directly advances Catalytic Impact Foundation’s charitable purpose: addressing unmet needs in health and life sciences.

We prioritize projects driving measurable progress in areas such as children’s health, women’s health, brain and mental health, rare disease, aging, and health equity—and that use charitable funding solely to support public benefit. For more information about this program email KHager@CIFImpact.org.
