The Fullerton collaborates on projects and can serve as a fiscal sponsor for selected projects that celebrate Newburgh’s history and culture. Fiscal sponsorship is a formal arrangement in which The Fullerton can help individuals and emerging organizations raise funds using the Fullerton’s 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status. Many funders only give their financial support to non-profit organizations, and by having The Fullerton as a fiscal sponsor you are opening up possibilities to access funding and make your work. If you’d like to talk to us about fiscal sponsorship opportunities, please contact us at TheFullertonCenter@gmail.com.

Below are some of the fabulous projects we’ve helped launch.
