About this program

SOMArts provides fiscal sponsorship services (Model A and Model C) offering administrative support and financial oversight to emerging not-for-profit organizations, collectives, individual artists, and projects. Model A absorbs the project legally (managing employees, insurance, administrative needs). Model C is suited for individual artists, small collectives, or one-time projects. Fees apply (Model C: 10–11%; Model A: 12%).
