encuentro 5 takes a 7% administrative fee on the net amount of all donations after any 3rd party fees are deducted (like credit card processing and returned check fees). These 3rd party fees are deducted from the gross donation and the net amount, minus 7%, is passed on to the sponsee in the form of a grant. Our fee covers all in-house administrative costs of processing your fiscal sponsorship.

Criteria for fiscal sponsorship:

• Alignment with our mission.
• Programs focused on systemic social change rather than individual development or transformation.
• Demonstrated history of effectiveness or a well thought out plan for future effective work.
• Responsible and representative leadership structure and decision making process.
• Engaged in activities which are legal and do not violate IRS rules for 501(c)3 organizations.
