Directory of Funders Funding Frontline Social Change
Fund grassroots impact, not paperwork
Every day, funders are unlocking frontline community‑led impact simply by saying yes to projects that are fiscally hosted.
Traditional grant processes unintentionally shut out the very groups that live closest to the issues they want to solve. Fiscal hosting removes those barriers. We created this list to:
spotlight funders already leading the way
help grant‑seekers find the right doors to knock on
give other funders a practical nudge: “if your peers can do it, you can too.”

Do you grant to fiscally hosted groups? Or do you know a progressive funder that does?
How fiscal hosting works in 60 seconds
A registered organisation (the host) receives and holds grant funds.
The grassroots group focuses on delivery while the host handles governance, reporting and compliance.
The funder gets transparent financials and reduced risk, without forcing the group to incorporate.
