Our Mission
Since 2009, The Innovation Foundation has empowered creativity and opportunity in underserved communities through music, arts, and education. Today, our mission has expanded to reflect the full scope of our values: we support innovative arts programming, provide fiscal sponsorship and guidance to mission-aligned organizations, and advocate for animal welfare through charitable giving and community partnerships.
By uniting creativity, compassion, and collaboration, we help changemakers—human and animal alike—thrive.
What Is a Fiscal Advisor?
A Fiscal Advisor for nonprofits is a trusted partner that provides expert financial guidance, oversight, and support to mission-driven organizations. We help ensure that nonprofits stay compliant, financially sustainable, and strategically aligned with their goals.
As your Fiscal Advisor, The Innovation Foundation supports organizations by:
-
Managing Funds Responsibly
We help administer grants and donations with transparency and accuracy, ensuring that every dollar is used effectively and in accordance with donor intent and regulatory requirements.
-
Providing Strategic Financial Oversight
From budgeting and forecasting to financial reporting and audits, we offer the tools and expertise to help you understand your organization’s financial health and plan for the future.
-
Ensuring Regulatory Compliance
We guide you through the complexities of nonprofit accounting standards, IRS requirements, and state-level filings—reducing your administrative burden and risk.
-
Serving as a Fiscal Sponsor (When Needed)
For emerging initiatives or grassroots programs, we can serve as a fiscal sponsor, allowing you to receive tax-deductible donations and grants even before you’ve established your own 501(c)(3).
-
Empowering Mission-Driven Work
Our goal is to let you focus on what matters most—your mission. By providing sound financial stewardship, we help unlock resources and build long-term stability.
Since 2009, The Innovation Foundation has launched and supported a wide range of programs dedicated to creativity, education, and community enrichment. These projects laid the foundation for our continued impact and remain core to our mission.
Music for Public Schools
We provided funding, instruments, and mentorship to underserved music classrooms across the country—bringing rhythm, harmony, and hope to students through access to quality arts education.
Artist-in-Residence Programs
We sponsored local and national artists to work directly with students and educators, helping schools develop customized arts curricula and hands-on workshops that inspired creativity and self-expression.
The ArtBox Initiative
Our team developed and distributed thousands of “ArtBoxes”—kits filled with supplies for painting, drawing, songwriting, and journaling—to schools in need, especially during summer and holiday breaks when resources were scarce.
Creativity Camps & Community Showcases
We organized weekend and summer programs where students explored music, visual arts, and performance. These culminated in public showcases—giving young artists the spotlight and confidence to share their voice.
Scholarship Support & Mentorship
The foundation awarded scholarships to promising young creatives pursuing further education in music or the arts. We also connected students with working artists and industry mentors.
