How to Join the Fiscal Sponsorship Program

Dance Theater Workshop’s Fiscal Sponsorship program is easy to join. Simply call Richert Schnorr at (212) 691-6500 ext. 225 to sign-up for one of our weekly enrollment meetings. There, you’ll be walked through the details of the program, have a chance to ask questions, and in most cases be ready to start raising money by the time you leave!

• Any fundraising material that you are preparing to use, if you have them ready.
• The $25 enrollment fee
