Southern Gentleman, Southern Journalist, Southern Courage and the Fight for Civil Rights: The Story of Ira B. Harkey, Jr. What is Fiscal Sponsorship?
In the simplest terms, a Fiscal Sponsor is an entity that accepts and manages funds for another. Fiscal Sponsorship is used primarily when a non-profit film/video project wants to secure funding from foundation, government or corporate sources that give only to nonprofit organizations with IRS tax-exempt status. To be considered exempt, an organization must hold a current 501(c)(3) certificate from the IRS. Rather than attempting to secure tax-exempt status for a film/video project or production company (a lengthy, involved and costly process), individual filmmakers may contract with a fiscal sponsor to extend tax-exempt status to that specific project. This allows such projects as ours to be funded by tax-deductible donations, grants, and philanthropic sources. The Fiscal Sponsor collects all funds for the project and maintains records as required by grant guidelines and/or federal law. We are fortunate to have as our Fiscal Sponsor a non-profit group who provides visual tools for the study of Mississippi, her art, her heritage, and her people: The O'Keefe Educational Media Group (formerly Destination & Educational Videos) an IRS certified, 501(c)(3) nonprofit, educational corporation
For more information on our Fiscal Sponsor please visit the O'Keefe website
