Dec '25 • 💰DECEMBER GRANT CHALLENGE
✨ DAY 19 GRANT CHALLENGE: Find a Fiscal Sponsor & Apply for Walmart Spark Good
Today is about strategy, not structure.
You do not have to give up on grants just because you’re a for-profit business or coach. Many grants are accessible when you partner correctly — and today we’re learning how.
💡 WHAT IS A FISCAL SPONSOR?
A fiscal sponsor is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that applies for a grant on behalf of a project that aligns with their mission.
This allows:
• Businesses
• Coaches
• Consultants
• Community leaders
to access nonprofit-only funding for community-impact projects.

📝 TODAY’S CHALLENGE
Step 1: Define a Community Project
This is not about your business profits.
Think community impact:
• Workshops
• Youth programs
• Education
• Food drives
• Financial literacy
• Wellness events
• Community resources
Step 2: Identify a Fiscal Sponsor
Look for:
• Local nonprofits
• Churches
• Community organizations
• Foundations
• Associations
that already serve the audience you want to help.
Step 3: Do NOT Apply Yet
Today is research + relationship building only.
No cold applications. No pressure.
Just identify:
• 1–2 potential fiscal sponsors
• Why your project fits their mission
• Which local Walmart store your project serves
🚨 IMPORTANT RULE
❌ Do NOT submit an application today
❌ Do NOT contact Walmart yet
We move step by step, the right way.

COACHING FROM INGA
Funding is about alignment, not labels.
