FISCAL SPONSORSHIP
The Film Society has launched a full-service Fiscal Sponsorship
department for Filmmaker Pro members, staffed by experienced former
Film Arts Foundation personnel, Michele Turnure-Salleo and Linda
Tracey. Whether you are a filmmaker with a seed of an idea, heading
into production, have just finished your rough cut or are putting your
distribution strategy into action, fiscal sponsorship can help you
access much needed funds from foundations and individual donors. We
provide one on one consulting services that help set the right course
for your individual project.
We can extend fiscal sponsorship to any entity (meaning an individual
or a business) that has a United States IRS-issued Social Security
number, tax ID or EIN and a valid U.S. mailing address.
Contact Michele Turnure-Salleo, the Fiscal Sponsorship Manager at
mic...@sffs.org or 415-561-5012. More information at ww.sffs.org
