Nonprofits Utilize Equitable Intermediaries to Enhance Grassroots Impact
Nonprofit organizations are increasingly turning to equitable intermediaries to bolster their operations and maintain focus on their core missions. These intermediaries, also known as fiscal sponsors, provide essential support in areas such as legal compliance, financial management, and technological expertise. This allows grassroots organizations to concentrate on community building and advocacy. Equitable intermediaries differ from traditional fiscal sponsors by offering additional support in communications, leadership development, and coalition building. They also absorb financial and legal risks, leveling the playing field for community-led organizations. The movement is supported by organizations like RVC and Fractured Atlas, along with foundations such as The Rockefeller Foundation, aiming to shift resources from philanthropy to frontline communities.
