Non-Profit Incubation

This content has been archived. It may no longer be relevant

Through our non-profit incubation program, we provide official nonprofit status, assistance and guidance to other like-minded organizations, to help them get their start, make progress and succeed.

Starting a new non-profit organization is a lot of work and involves some upfront expense and a lot of paperwork, especially if the non-profit wants to be able to accept tax-free donations. We are able to help new start-ups sidestep that part of the process until they are on their feet, helping make changes happen in our community in a more efficient way.

Mentoring can help new organizations avoid potential obstacles and take advantage of opportunities when they come along. Through our fiscal sponsorship program, we help local enterprises thrive and we facilitate the creation of more resilient communities.

Currently we are not accepting applications to our Fiscal Sponsorship Program. 

Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis. Apply at any time and we will be in contact with you shortly.

Our Board of Directors meet quarterly to approve or disapprove fiscal sponsorship requests. We have onboarding quarterly of new fiscal sponsees, the application cutoff date is the first of that month.

Application cutoff dates are:
March 1st / June 1st
September 1st / December 1st

 

Stellar organizations such as Farmer Foodshare, Raleigh City Farm, Pickards Mountain Eco Institute, Slow Money NC  and more, have gotten their start through Abundance NC’s fiscal sponsorship program. Read more about our current and past fiscal sponsorship partners below.
