Fiscal Sponsorship

The back office for patient-led advocacy.

So you can spend your time with patients and partners — not paperwork.

What is fiscal sponsorship?

Fiscal sponsorship is a formal relationship in which an established 501(c)(3) — in this case, PatAdvHub — provides the legal, financial, and administrative foundation that lets a project operate as a charitable initiative without forming a separate nonprofit.

For patient advocacy work, that means donations are tax-deductible from day one, grants can be received and reported properly, and project leaders can move quickly while staying compliant.

What PatAdvHub handles

  • IRS Form 990 and tax filings

  • Donation processing and receipting
