Program accomplishments

  • The primary activity of Restoring Lifeways is fiscal sponsorship Restoring Lifeways RL serves as an interface with governmental and philanthropic entities for an individual or projects work accepting and administering funds in collaboration with them. Fiscal sponsorship at RL gives individuals and groups a 501c3 non-profit home allowing them to focus on their work while RL helps to manage financial HR and legal elements. This helps give projects the room they need to make their impact on the world. We see ourselves as partners with the organizations we support and our interactions with our projects go far beyond the transactional. We recognize and honor the sovereignty of our fiscal sponsors many of whom come from and are serving communities that have been subjected to historical and ongoing systems of subjugation disempowerment and oppression. We design our services to remove barriers build trust and partnership uplift traditional Indigenous knowledge and practices and contribute to healing justice and liberation. RLs fiscally sponsored projects have access to an array of services provided at a lower or more flexible cost than would be possible for these projects on their own. All fiscally sponsored projects at RL have a mission-aligned focus on supporting youth on their journey into healthy adulthood. We also partnered with a donor advised fund to distribute grants to a cohort of charitable exempt organizations.
