How do donations work for fiscally sponsored organizations?

  • Our donation intake and disbursement partner For Good requires that both you and your Fiscal Sponsor yearly confirm your existing relationship in order to be eligible to receive donations through Patagonia Action Works.
  • Once the relationship is confirmed, the donation button on your organizations profile page will be active.
  • Disbursement of donated funds will be sent to your fiscal sponsor’s mailing address or deposited directly into their account if they have set up direct deposit. The funds will be designated to your organization.
  • Fiscal sponsors can see the breakdown of what funds have been designated to a particular organization by accessing the free nonprofit dashboard provided by For Good (formerly Network For Good), here.
  • Your fiscal sponsor can see donation details by clicking the “Export” link on the right-hand side of the donor dashboard.
  • Please note, your fiscal sponsor will be responsible for tracking donations made to their EIN and designated for your organization. We recommend reaching out to your fiscal sponsor to confirm the process for re-disbursal of funds designated to your organization through For Good.
  • If at any time you change to a new fiscal sponsor, please email actionworks@patagonia.com and share your new Fiscal Sponsor name, EIN and their contact email. 
  • If your organization has recently become a 501 (c)(3) organizations, please let us know your EIN.  
  • If you or your fiscal sponsor would prefer to not have your organization be eligible to receive donations through Patagonia Action Works, please let us know.
