Discussion Items

• Fiscal sponsorship means that NB can act as a financial host for non-profit projects.
  • Can this be used to pay for the cost of projects?
    • Yes, that's the intent of fiscal sponsorship.
  • Are there people at NB who will administer such projects?
    • Sort of - we have a treasurer
• Get in touch with J if you're interested in sponsorship for a project

• In what sense is Noisebridge an anarchist space? Isn't there some kind of government of the space?
  • Not exactly, we have those structures because of the 501c3 requirements, but that's all it's for, it's not a position of power.
