FAQs

What is a 501(c)(3) Equivalency Organization?

A 501(c)(3) equivalency organization is a nonprofit based outside the U.S. that meets IRS criteria for tax-deductible donations from U.S. donors.

• If your nonprofit is outside the U.S., you can set up a U.S. “Friends of” organization to raise funds in the U.S. for your foreign charity.
• “Friends of” organizations must be public charities with a 501(c)(3) designation.

What is a U.S.-Based Fiscal Sponsor?

A fiscal sponsor is a nonprofit organization that helps manage the financial and administrative side of charitable organizations and projects. They provide fiduciary oversight, financial management, and other essential services.

• For international organizations, a fiscal sponsor allows you to raise funds both in the U.S. and globally, while making those donations tax-deductible.
• With the sponsor’s 501(c)(3) status, your organization can apply for grants and receive donations from U.S. donors, who can benefit from tax deductions.

What is a U.S.-Based Organization with an Established EIN?

A U.S.-based organization with an established EIN allows your donors to donate securities—including stocks, ETFs, and mutual funds—through that organization. We would then liquidate the shares and deposit the funds into the U.S. bank account tied to the organization.

What is a U.S.-Based Partner Organization?

If you have a partner organization based in the U.S., we can set up a Stock URL to be shared on their website. Donors can then designate your nonprofit as the campaign type when making their donation.
