Fiscal Sponsorship Overview

At Camelback Ventures, we believe great ideas deserve strong infrastructure. Fiscal sponsorship allows visionary leaders to focus on their mission while Camelback provides the legal, financial, and administrative backbone.

We offer competitive administrative fees with all sponsorship options—rates designed to sustain compliance and excellence while ensuring the majority of dollars flow directly to community impact.

  • Organizational Capacity: More than a decade of experience managing multi-million-dollar budgets with transparency.
  • Trust-Centered Partnership: A relationship grounded in trust, equity, and care—not a transaction.

Accountability & Risk Management
