The New York Foundation for the Arts offers free Fiscal Sponsorship information seminars that are specifically designed to promote a better understanding of the unique relationship between an artist or an arts organization and a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. These seminars are geared to those interested in the use and benefits of fiscal sponsorship, including the general public, emerging organizations and artists interested in applying to NYFA's Fiscal Sponsorship program.

Each seminar is approximately ninety minutes in length and is presented by a program staff member. Seminars take place at NYFA's offices, located at 20 Jay Street in DUMBO Brooklyn on the 7th floor.

    Security
    Due to building-wide upgraded security, visitors will only be given access to NYFA's offices once permission has been obtained from NYFA personnel and the visitor produces a valid photo ID. To speed access, visitors should provide NYFA with advance notice of their visit so we may then notify the lobby staff. If no prior notification has been given to the lobby security staff, the lobby staff will call NYFA to obtain permission to give access.

    Directions
    If you are coming by subway, NYFA's offices are located at 20 Jay Street, take the F train to the York Street stop in Brooklyn and walk along Jay Street towards the water.
