Yes. If your organization doesn't yet have its own tax-exempt status, you can still join Taproot Plus by providing a signed copy of your fiscal sponsorship agreement.
A fiscal sponsor is an established nonprofit that provides financial oversight, management, and administrative services for projects that don't yet have their own tax-exempt status. It's a common path for new organizations working toward independent status.
Based outside our service regions?
Taproot Plus is available to organizations in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, the European Union, and India. If your organization is based somewhere else, you can still join if your fiscal sponsor is based in one of those regions and you can share a signed copy of your sponsorship agreement.
To learn more about how fiscal sponsorship works, see the National Council of Nonprofits' overview of fiscal sponsorship.
