Frequently Asked Questions

Foundations & Charitable Orgs

  • Can a foundation or family office use funds donated by their own principals in a GVNG project?

    Yes. As long as the funds are donated in accordance with the GVNG fiscally sponsored project agreement, any source of funds can be used for a GVNG project.

  • Our foundation or family office has been making charitable donations for years. How is this different?

    For a foundation or family office, the primary difference is the direct control of how charitable donations are used. Most foundations and family offices do their charitable giving the old-fashioned way – giving money away to 501(c)(3) charities. While simply giving money to worthy causes like the Red Cross or American Cancer Society is always a good thing, when those donations are made, the direct impact is largely unknown to donors. With a GVNG project, a foundation or family office can directly support very specific causes and clearly see the direct impact of their generosity.

  • In a GVNG project, can a foundation or family office use donated funds for further fundraising events, i.e. a gala or event?

    Yes. Using donations to raise more charitable donations is a legitimate and permitted use of funds in a fiscally sponsored project, subject to oversight by GVNG to ensure compliance with all laws and regulations.

  • What are some examples of creative charitable projects done by GVNG clients?

    Examples of GVNG clients include film and media projects that raise awareness for their causes. Other GVNG clients have built and rebuilt things in their communities, such as recreation centers, baseball fields, homeless shelters, and other important community resources. Additionally, GVNG clients have also used their projects to rebuild communities after disasters like hurricanes, floods, and fires.

  • We want to set up a new charitable project right away. How quickly can we start?

    GVNG can start a new fiscally-sponsored project in one day. Funds can be donated that same day and disbursements in support of that cause can be made the next day. There’s no quicker way to set up a fully compliant charitable organization.
