What We Sponsor and What We Don't

Unlike many fiscal sponsors, Visions Made Viable specifically seeks to support a wide variety of efforts to bring about important social change.

If your project or nonprofit is a practical approach with potential to add value to the lives of others, and it fits our mission statement, we’d love to hear from you.

However, there are some types of projects we don't sponsor. Before contacting us or applying, make sure your project doesn’t fall into any of the following categories:

  • Projects Specifically Focused on Political Advocacy
    • As a 501c3 nonprofit organization in the US, VMV can't support projects dedicated to straightforward political advocacy
  • Projects Funding Individual Education or Career Development.
    • We don’t support individuals seeking grant monies or contributions for their own educational or career development.
  • Arts Projects Without a Clear Connection to Creating Social Change
    • We deeply appreciate  the contribution the arts community makes to social change. But VMV can't support individuals or groups of artists looking for further training. We're motivated to consider artistic projects that contribute directly to social change, but in most cases artists hoping for fiscal sponsorship should probably look for support among the many fiscal sponsorship groups committed to helping artists do what they do best.
