Umbrella Partnership

Partner with Community Synergy.

You don’t need to build your own nonprofit. Community Synergy provides the legal structure, financial infrastructure, and 501(c)(3) status so you can focus on the work.

What This Is

Fiscal sponsorship for community-driven work.

A lot of good programs never get off the ground because building a nonprofit takes time, money, and overhead that most community leaders don’t have. Community Synergy exists to solve that.

Through our umbrella partnership model, your program operates under Community Synergy’s 501(c)(3) status. Donors can make tax-deductible contributions to your work. Grants become accessible. You get a legal home — without losing the autonomy to run your program the way you want.

Partnership Tiers

Two ways to work with us.

Seed

Project Partner

For early-stage or forming projects. Community Synergy assumes legal responsibility while your program develops. Ideal if you have an idea and community support but aren’t ready to stand alone.

Flower

Program Partner

For active programs operating without a legal entity. You keep full operational autonomy — we provide the structure. Ideal if you’re already doing the work and need a proper home for it.
