What is the process to become fiscally sponsored by Tides Center?

STEP 1: Assess whether your project meets our eligibility criteria, including mission alignment and the amount of confirmed funding. 

STEP 2: Begin the process by completing the Partner With Us  form on our website. 

STEP 3: If requested by us, participate in an initial call with our staff to discuss your mission, program activities, needs, and timeline. 

STEP 4: Invitations to pursue the application process are extended to applicants likely to meet our eligibility criteria, at which time you will be asked to identify a preferred timeline for decision and onboarding. Application is by invitation only.   

STEP 5: If your application is approved by Tides Center staff, the project is onboarded and becomes active once paperwork and initial funding is received.
