Our Work
Fertile Ground Institute is a non-profit working for ecological and social justice. We provide education to develop smart, effective leadership and organize events that bring together seemingly disparate movements. We also support groups with similar goals by providing fiscal sponsorship and consultation.
Latest News
We provide fiscal sponsorship for small grassroots community and activists groups that would qualify for federal 501(c)3 status, but either don't want to pursue official status or cannot do so at this time. Being fiscally sponsored gives you the benefits of being a non-profit, including the ability to apply for grants and receive tax-deductible donations. If your organization is a good fit, we charge a very small percentage of your donations for administrative costs (much lower than standard for this arrangement). Contact us if you're interested in working together!
