How Fiscal Sponsor Fees Work

A quick primer on how fiscal sponsors generate revenue from sponsored organizations.

Set Your Fee Percentage

Most fiscal sponsors charge 5–15% of each sponsored organization's revenue. This covers your administrative costs — accounting, compliance, reporting, and technology.

Fees Are Calculated Monthly

Each month, your sponsor fee is calculated based on actual revenue received by each organization. With Alignmint, this happens automatically — no spreadsheets needed.

Software Costs Add Up Fast

If each sponsored nonprofit needs its own software subscription, your technology costs multiply with every new organization. One platform for all your orgs changes the math entirely.
