A Message to Our Community
For decades, the Federation of Neighborhood Centers (FNC Philly) has stood as a home for visionaries, organizers, and community builders—people who believe in the power of neighbors helping neighbors. Our fiscal sponsorship program has been one of the most meaningful expressions of that commitment, nurturing grassroots projects that have gone on to transform lives across Philadelphia.
After deep reflection, financial analysis, and conversations with our partners, we have made the difficult decision to formally close our fiscal sponsorship program on December 31, 2025.
This choice does not come lightly. It comes after years of carrying work that we believed in wholeheartedly—often beyond our capacity—because we care deeply about every project, every leader, and every community member who trusted us with their mission. Our journey to this point has been shaped by compassion, resilience, and a profound dedication to lifting up those doing essential work in our city.
As we move into this transition, our priority remains the same: the wellbeing of our community and the integrity of the work we all share. We are actively collaborating with partners across Philadelphia to support projects as they identify new organizational homes and continue their missions with strength and stability.
FNC Philly has always been more than an institution—we are a family of changemakers. While the fiscal sponsorship program is coming to an end, the spirit of community that defines us will carry forward in new ways. We remain grateful for every leader who has walked this journey with us, and we will continue to champion the values of equity, service, and community empowerment that have guided our work for generations.
If you are a current fiscally sponsored project seeking support during this transition, please contact us for the formal transition planning and next steps.
Thank you for being part of our story. Together, we have built something remarkable—and together, we will continue shaping a brighter future for Philadelphia.
