Examples that are typically fine: For performance, U.S. festivals, Off-Broadway, Edinburgh Fringe, and even some US based commercial contexts. No money passed through the OPportunity fund is allowed to bestow ANY investment benefits for the donor, so while the fund theoretically can support a venture that has a commercial component, if you are looking to raise commercial investment for a film or performance through the fund, you cannot. Some international commercial contexts may not be eligible.

The OPportunity Fund offers two primary collaboration pathways. This question helps us understand the level of support you’re interested in at this stage — it does not lock you into a final structure.

Supported by the OPportunity Fund Best for projects seeking basic, fee-free fiscal sponsorship as they move toward production. OP serves as fiscal sponsor and compliance partner, allowing you to raise tax-deductible funds through a U.S. nonprofit while retaining primary producing control.

Produced in Association with the OPportunity Fund Designed for projects seeking a deeper producing partnership. In addition to fee-free fiscal sponsorship, OP may provide hands-on support such as production management, budgeting and cashflow planning, payroll processing, contracting, and fundraising strategy, the resources for which may or may not need to be budgeted into the project. This model reflects a more integrated collaboration and shared visibility.

If you’re unsure which model fits best, select “Not sure yet.” We’re happy to discuss options as part of the review process
