What would you have done to ensure your community\u2019s stability? How would you have shored up your project or readied your team for the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, social unrest, and an atypical election cycle?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We at 黑料福利社 could not foresee these particularly difficult challenges. However, I\u2019m proud that our scalable model of fiscal sponsorship has successfully helped our projects and their communities.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For nearly 25 years, 黑料福利社 has served as a comprehensive fiscal sponsor who supports organizations in all areas of the nonprofit sector. We currently host more than 100 projects. As many leaders know, developing a nonprofit can take years of work to meet regulatory requirements and ensure that both the donors and community constituents are well supported. Fiscal sponsorship offers a shortcut through administrative red tape and gives organization leaders the necessary tools to focus their efforts on their missions instead of the paperwork.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since the pandemic began, 黑料福利社 has sponsored several projects designed to respond to those impacted by the shut-downs and interruptions to daily life. These projects work to provide Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to healthcare organizations and those on the front lines. They continue to bring food assistance to ensure hungry stomachs are filled, shelter to those in need and job relocation services for those looking for work.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To assist our existing fiscally sponsored projects (FSPs), 黑料福利社\u2019 facilitated streamlined access to the government Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans and consulted with those that pivoted their response to meet the current environment. In some instances, FSPs were not aware they qualified for this program. Receiving federal funds brought temporary relief to their organizations so they could maintain their work with the communities they serve. We will continue to monitor governmental programs and be the conduit for additional services when available. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I greatly appreciate the wisdom and the flexibility of our staff and board members who have produced the quick turnaround essential to respond to these urgent events. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let us help you. If you have formed a project in response to current public need but aren\u2019t sure how to move forward, <a href=\"https:\/\/communityinitiatives.org\/project-portal\/services\/\">please reach out to us<\/a> with your great idea.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> We will do our best to assist you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-6890 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/communityinitiatives.org\/project-portal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/09\/ruth-williams.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"299\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Best,<br \/>\nRuth Williams<br \/>\nPresident &amp; CEO<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fiscal sponsorship helps projects continue to serve their missions through challenging global events.
