Fiscal Sponsored Projects
EEF Fiscal Sponsorship
As a 501(c)3 tax-exempt organization, EEF is able to partner with parent and community groups to help fundraise for EEF mission-compatible projects for TUSD teachers, students, and school sites. From help with grantwriting to accounting, EEF’s Fiscal Sponsorship program works to make valuable community-initiated projects a reality for TUSD students, teachers, social workers, and health professionals and allows TUSD schools to access the Tucson Community Food Bank’s Agency Market. For more information about applying for fiscal sponsorship through EEF, please call the EEF office.
