Can we have more than one fiscal sponsor? #50

Closed froi closed 4 years ago

froi commented 4 years ago

The documentation provided by CfA leads us to believe that this is possible. While our principal fiscal sponsor will be CfA (donations and other monetary tasks), we could have a specific fiscal sponsor on a project basis. For example signing an MOU with a government entity to help develop a civic project.

We need some clarification on this and on how this might affect anything we do as Code4PR.

We should also ask about any laws or limitations on getting fiscal sponsorship from entities in PR through CfA.

We've had a conversation with the leadership over at CfA and this is very doable.

If a project / product / effort needs an additional fiscal sponsor (grant or other form of payment) the preferred method would be to have these individuals be Code for PR fellows under the employment of this fiscal sponsor.

To avoid tax issues it is also preferred that the fiscal sponsor be in PR for any projects on the island.

@albertico I'm closing this out. Feel free to reopen if there is anything else to add / consider.
