If your application is successful, you will be sent an agreement that must be signed no later than one month after the day it was sent to you by Shunpike. If we do not receive your signed agreement within one month, we cannot move ahead with fiscal sponsorship of your group or project.

After you have signed your contract, you will pay your establishment fee. Then your Program Manager will reach out to set up an orientation session to get you acquainted with Shunpike’s fiscal sponsorship program and processes. 

After this session, you will be asked to make the opening deposit into your Shunpike account. The minimum deposit amount is $150, but there is no maximum amount for this first deposit. For up to $2,500 of the first deposit into your account, Shunpike will waive the administrative cost share percentage. Please note that your initial deposit must be made in one transaction to take advantage of the one-time cost share waiver. 

From here, your Program Manager will provide you with the tailored next steps for your group to get started fundraising.
