Let’s turn your vision into impact.

Whether you’re an upstart grassroots organization or an already-established entity, you bring the ideas and we provide the infrastructure.

Through PAF’s Fiscal Sponsorship Program, mission-aligned initiatives can launch and grow without creating a new nonprofit. We handle the operational support so you can focus on community, culture, and impact.

What is Fiscal Sponsorship?

Fiscal sponsorship allows charitable projects to operate under the legal and tax-exempt status of an established nonprofit. By partnering with Pacific American Foundation, projects gain access to financial, administrative, and operational support without creating a separate organization. We handle the infrastructure so you can focus on advancing your mission.
