Upstream Works Collaborative is a community-centered fiscal sponsor for grassroots and early-stage organizations. If you are launching a nonprofit, testing a new idea or managing a grant from a funder, we provide the 501(c)(3) home, financial oversight and back-office support that let you accept tax-deductible donations and focus on your mission instead of paperwork.
We are a collaborative of equity-oriented practitioners working to improve community health and quality of life. Our fiscal sponsorship is intentionally low-cost and, where we can, sliding-scale, built for community-driven groups that larger sponsors often overlook. We work with organizations across the United States, with deep roots in the Southeast.
