Announcing our Fiscal Sponsorship with Superbloom Design
We are excited to share that the volume EM Community Initiative is now a fiscally sponsored project (FSP) of Superbloom Design.
This partnership allows initiatives like ours to operate under the umbrella of an established nonprofit organization. As a California 501(c)(3) nonprofit, Superbloom provides the legal, financial and operational infrastructure that enables us to access funding, receive operational support, accept donations and build long-term sustainability. We now have a mechanism to directly accept contributions or grants, without going through individual academic institutions, and can now more easily use these for the benefit of our community initiative.
Being part of Superbloom’s fiscal sponsorship will also allow us to connect with other aligned initiatives, creating opportunities for future collaboration. To learn more about Superbloom and the remarkable ecosystem of public-interest projects they support, visit their website.
