Fiscal Sponsorships

For artists and organizations whose mission aligns with ours, our fiscal sponsorship program provides a way for you or your organization to receive support through donations and grants, enabling you to give your gift, share your art, and make the world a better place.

 

APPLY it’s easy! Apply here and we will get back to you within the week. 

 

How it works:  when your mission resonates with ours, we can legally support you to receive financial donations and apply for grants. We take a small fee for this—7-10 percent, depending on how much support you want—and turn your money around to you within 14 days of receipt.

 

What you do:  apply, interview, and if you’re accepted, you provide information about what you do to us along with a photo.  You’ll get your own profile and donation button on our website, so your fans, friends, and family can support you financially. 

 

What we do:  we will keep your information current on our website, make sure your donations are responsibly and swiftly processed and money is passed to you promptly. We also do social media features of our fiscal sponsees to help spread awareness of your art. Finally, we provide our 501(c)3 number for the purposes of applying for grants, so you can go after grant funding.

 

The 418 Project’s fiscal sponsorship program started in 2001—in the past year, our fiscal sponsorship program raised over $90,000 for artists and organizations, positively impacting more than 2,500 individuals.  Don’t wait, ask us more, we’re here to help.

In times like these. The Unknown. The Unusual. The non-conformist. We need ART to sustain us.
 

Join and support Uche Elueze as he aims to put up his one-man show in the city of Santa Cruz by the year’s end.


His show called Coming To America; not the movie is a story about his life. Being born in Nigeria and spending most of his life abroad.
 

The show will take place outdoors with social distancing as we try to adapt and move forward in these unusual times.
 

The show is a one-man solo show centered around self and how different institutions and countries have shaped his character.
 

It’s an immersive show with storytelling, monologues performance art, and Improv.
 

Uchè Elueze has been part of Santa Cruz Shakespeare and he appreciates any and all support.
