The field of fiscal sponsorship, from its origins in the late 1950s and Civil Rights Movement, has had a strong grounding in equity, inclusion, diversity, and social justice. Like their close cousins, cooperatives, fiscal sponsors offer approaches to building and sharing resources among an intentional community. As tax-exempt organizations and cooperative-like business models, fiscal sponsors can offer an alternative economic and social structure to the alienating and disenfranchising forces of market-driven capitalism and the private sector.
