I recently secured fiscal sponsorship through the Alliance of Women Directors for my narrative fiction feature. When I was first looking into the process, everyone talked about how fiscal sponsorship opens the door to funding and grants that only non-profits are eligible for.

I'm having a lot of trouble actually finding those specific grants, though. Most of the ones I'm seeing are just general independent film grants that anyone can apply to anyway.

For context, this is a female-written and directed narrative feature about dementia and caregiving, and I'm based in California. I know there has to be targeted funding out there, but I'm hitting a wall finding the non-profit-exclusive ones.

For those of you who have had your films fiscally sponsored, what specific non-profit-only grants did you actually apply to? I’d love to hear about your experiences and where you found them.

Thanks!
