DETERMINE AGREEMENT SIGNING RESPONSIBILITY
For Peer Voices United to be able to send you a fiscal sponsorship agreement, it needs to be established who will have signing responsibility. You can either sign with Peer Voices United as yourself or as an entity (for example: LLC or nonprofit corporation). The signer of the agreement will be considered the primary “Fund Advisor” for the new Peer Voices United project.
SIGN AGREEMENT VIA DOCUSIGN
You will be emailed the fiscal sponsorship agreement via DocuSign, which includes the following additional attachments: 1. Exhibit A (The Protocols) 2. Exhibit B (Event Budget and Summary Form), 3. Opening Deposit Confirmation Sheet for confirming your payment method, 4. Bank letter required for opening deposits made via ACH/WIRE. A Peer Voices United Project Management team member will contact you via a welcome email with the next steps after the agreement is executed by both parties
OPENING DEPOSIT (MIN: $5,000)
Your DocuSign fiscal sponsorship agreement includes an Opening Deposit Confirmation Sheet, which provides instructions on making your opening deposit via check, ACH/WIRE, or online via ppf.org/donate. The minimum funding to onboard your project is $5,000, due within 15 days of signing the agreement. This deposit will serve as ‘seed funding’ for your new project and will be used to open your dedicated CNB bank account. Of course, this opening deposit is tax-deductible to you or whoever is gifting it.
