Financial reporting, tax filing, state registrations, vendor payments and more are handled by EIF on behalf of our fiscally sponsored funds. EIF’s finance and accounting team works cross-functionally with operations professionals and human resources experts to serve as an incubator, a dedicated partner, and a bridge to philanthropic independence.
EIF processes donations, issues receipts for tax deductions, and provides real-time donor support for all of its fiscally sponsored funds. Whether there are questions about recurring gifts or corporate matching programs, our team provides prompt responses to increase donor and sponsor trust to encourage repeat giving.
EIF supports the research, identification, and vetting of community-based nonprofit organizations that have the potential to further the missions of its fiscally sponsored funds. Grantmaking experts manage outgoing funds and utilize reporting tools to capture their impact.
EIF funds benefit from a Board of Directors comprised of philanthropically committed entertainment industry leaders and a diverse team of experienced nonprofit professionals.
EIF fiscally sponsors funds for artists, athletes, influencers, and entertainment companies looking to leverage their platforms for social good. We support the philanthropy of creative individuals and groups who have a clear and strategic vision for meaningful impact. If that’s you, please use the contact us form below.
An authentic philanthropic goal. A vision of real impact and commitment to those you wish to serve. An initial financial investment to support your vision. Intention, respect for all, and a spirit of collaboration.
EIF’s mission is rooted in collaboration, even amongst competitors, to increase social impact. It’s all about the communities we serve, and EIF’s ability to convene and engage all corners of the entertainment landscape enables vast impact. EIF is also uniquely positioned to enable our fiscally sponsored funds to hire dedicated employees to fulfill their mission.
Yes. EIF welcomes funds that were established elsewhere and show potential for growth and increased impact at EIF.
Maybe, maybe not. If you have a clear vision for the impact you want to make and strategic ideas for how to leverage your influence to achieve your goals, then EIF may be a great partner for you. Better yet, if you want to expand your capacity by hiring dedicated employees to manage your philanthropic efforts, EIF can make that happen. If you’re looking for lighter-touch support or grants administration only, then we’re happy to recommend donor-advised services at other reputable organizations.
EIF does not fundraise on behalf of its fiscally sponsored funds, however we offer several resources and services to set you up for success. Every EIF fund is provided an online donation tool that accepts all major payment types including stock and crypto currencies. We can contract with professional fundraisers or help you hire dedicated team members. We do shepherd the budgeting and financial planning of our fiscally sponsored funds to foster activity and increase impact.
Give directly to EIF and support the teams that make these efforts possible.
