Our fiscal sponsorship program gives mission-driven individuals and groups a simple, compliant way to raise funds under the umbrella of Tandy Consulting Inc. As a DIY fundraiser, you take the lead on your project — creating it, promoting it, and driving the impact you want to see.
We handle the administrative heavy lifting so you can stay focused on your cause.
Fiscal sponsorship offers a smart, efficient way for philanthropists, nonprofits, and mission-driven organizations to launch charitable initiatives without forming a new nonprofit entity. By partnering with Tandy Family Charitable Foundation., your project operates under our 501(c)(3) umbrella, giving you the credibility, structure, and federal tax-exempt status enjoyed by established public charities.

We handle the accounting, fund management, and IRS requirements—allowing your initiative to run smoothly and sustainably.
