Fiscal sponsorship administrative charge:
We tell people to expect the typical range of 5%-15%, but what we charge depends on how the fiscal sponsorship affects our insurance, tax reporting, accounting, liability and staffing. We aim to stay within a reasonable charge that compensates us accordingly for the service we provide, yet helps a future nonprofit take flight.

Organization description:
Panorama Global empowers individuals and organizations at all stages to transform aspirations into action and ideas into impact. Our platform for social change is designed to maximize social impact in partnership with leaders and organizations working across all issues, sectors, and geographies, because we know that while world-changing ideas can emerge from leaders anywhere, it’s only when we work together that real change will take hold. We tackle a wide range of social issues, recognizing there are common connections, patterns, intersections, and cross-cutting solutions between them. From pandemic preparedness to women’s leadership to LGBTQ+ mental health, Panorama catalyzes change wherever we see gaps and needs. Our platform is designed to be flexible, scalable, and compatible with every partner’s unique needs. Whether Panorama is leading the charge, supporting behind the scenes, or connecting the dots and stepping away, we are always focused on maximizing impact. The defining features of our approach include a systems-thinking mindset, a deep belief in collaboration over competition, and a solutions-oriented optimism that strives toward new frontiers of what is possible. Our role as a fiscal sponsor is to be your trusted partner, so you can focus on bringing bold ideas to life.
