Program Director

Organization Summary:

Charitable Allies is a nonprofit organization that serves other nonprofit organizations by providing legal education and services. Our fiscal sponsorship program has now grown into its own related entity, Fiscal Sponsorship Allies (FSA). FSA fills the need in the nonprofit community for affordable Model C fiscal sponsorship nationwide. Whether a new animal shelter is looking to accept donations before getting their 501(c)(3) status or a youth sports club is looking to receive a large grant that would disrupt its public support test, we are here to help. We operate two different Model C fiscal sponsorship programs; this position will oversee the more established of those two programs.

Our team is made up of friendly professionals who want to work hard to make the world a better place, one nonprofit at a time. We are continually improving and innovating to meet the needs of the growing nonprofit community. We’re an organization with a huge work ethic that not only invests strongly in our people and their professional growth, but that also still takes time out to have fun on occasion. We are a qualified employer for the U.S. Department of Education’s Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program and some of our team has achieved student loan forgiveness.
