Fiscal Sponsorship
“Prime Produce Limited provided wonderful, personable support as a fiscal sponsor at an early and critical stage in the life of the U.S. Department of Arts and Culture. The team believed in our work and mission and provided meaningful back-end support so that—rather than having to form our own 501c3 at a moment in which it wasn’t essential or even strategic —we could focus on our program and core mission. Prime Produce offered much more than just a simple service, they offered a family and culture that it was a joy to be a part of! Since then, the people-powered USDAC has grown into a grassroots action network of more than 18K artists, activists, and allies inciting creativity and social imagination to shape a culture of empathy, equity, and belonging.”
~ Adam Horowitz, USDAC
“Working with PPL was an absolute pleasure. I especially appreciate the time and effort they took to understand our organizational goals/needs before considering if and how they could help. PPL went out of their way to establish new processes to support our affordable housing work we do in California. Jerone and the rest of the board offered their expertise and time generously to ensure the work that we did together align with both organizations’ goals and mission. As a result, I can genuinely say that the partnership and collaboration served as a force multiplier.”
~ Joshua To, Soup
"Prime Produce is all about the power of pursuing what matters most as a team. That this is even a possibility is its daily lesson.”
~Sarah Deutsch, SouperKitchen
Prime Produce provides non-profit leaders with a corporate infrastructure foundation that includes essential compliance and financial oversight processes. We charge an administrative fee of 5%.
The true value of our platform, though, is the people. We offer an opportunity for leaders to chart their own self-directed journey through an ecosystem of do-gooders that includes designers, gardeners, musicians, strategists, presenters, mixologists, technologists, wildlife rehabilitators, librarians, and many many more good people. Through cooperative, creative, and ambitious mutual support we believe that this network of grassroots interdependence can be the key to nourish this next generation’s burgeoning not-for-profit initiatives.
NOTE: Our fiscal sponsorship programs enshrines a certain degree of autonomy and internal management for each program, but does impose important financial controls. This means that we are not a good fit for everyone. If you would like to inquire about joining the Prime Produce Limited portfolio of programs, please email us with a brief presentation about your program (any format is fine) and a letter stating why you think we are the ideal fiscal sponsor for your program (as opposed to all those other fiscal sponsors you have already reviewed): prevenience@primeproduce.org
