Flickers Fiscal Sponsorship Program
Donation and Disbursements
DONATIONS POLICY 20
As a fiscally sponsored project of Flickers you have several options for receiving donations to your
project. Most of our donations are made by check. We can also accept donations via credit card,
online through PayPal, wire transfers directed to our bank account and through transfer and sale
of stock. If you have further questions about how to accept donations for your project please
contact the Fiscal Sponsorship Coordinator.
Check Donations
All check donations must be made out to the Flickers Arts Collaborative (or Flickers)
with the title of your film written somewhere on each check, preferably on the memo line.
Failure to include the title of your project on each check could result in funds being applied
incorrectly or returned to the donor. We cannot, under any circumstances, accept checks made
out to you, your film or your company, even if they are endorsed to us.
Donations may be mailed directly to the Flickers from the donor or first collected by the project
director. We generally recommend that you collect donation checks from individual donors and
forward them to us so that you can keep close track of donations and write thank you letters.
However, if you prefer, we can accept checks directly from your donors.
Checks should be mailed to:
Flickers Arts Collaborative (or Flickers)

Due to the volume of donations we receive, we are unable to notify you automatically when you
receive a donation directly to Flickers, but you can email us and request periodic updates. We can
provide you with names of donors, amounts donated and total funds available upon request. For
an account update email
. Please allow 2-3 business days for a response.
We accept only cash donations. Flickers regretfully cannot process or grant a tax deduction to those
giving in-kind donations to your project. Due to strict IRS and State regulations, we are unable to
process money from raffles or auctions. It is important to note that no goods or services may be
given or promised to donors in return for a donation. If you have any questions about this
policy please don’t hesitate to call us for clarification.
