Fiscal Sponsorship

Fiscal sponsorship is not a grant. It’s a partnership that allows neighborhood groups and grassroots initiatives to access third-party grant funding through One Omaha’s nonprofit status. One Omaha offers fiscal sponsorship services to Omaha-based groups working on projects that strengthen neighborhoods and build community. By providing equitable access to funding opportunities, we help ensure that community leaders have the resources to make change especially those without 501(c)(3) status. Fiscal sponsorship supports a healthier, more inclusive ecosystem for grassroots action in Omaha.

The Process

• Feel free to copy and paste information from your grant applications.
• Sponsorships over $5,000 will need approval from our Board of Directors and will take 3-5 business days to process.
• Sponsorships under $5,000 can be approved same day.
• After approval, Alex will send you an MOU to sign.
• A separate MOU will need to be signed for each grant/fundraiser.
• We require you to send us a copy of any grant reports required for your funding.

• One Omaha may charge a 5-10% fee depending on the amount of administrative work involved.
• Fees are only levied if you receive the grant, and One Omaha processes it.
• No fee is collected for fiscal sponsorship of Omaha Mayor Neighborhood Grants or Omaha Community Foundation Neighborhood Grants.
