About Eightfold Path
About Us
Eightfold Path creates and sponsors therapeutic programs to help alleviate human and non human suffering. Our programs tend to focus on healing individual, generational, and collective trauma, but are not limited to human suffering caused by trauma. We welcome programs that address the needs of special groups, the animal kingdom, and Mother Earth.
We serve as a fiscal sponsor for projects and organizations who do not have tax exempt status and who meet our guidelines. Eightfold Path makes it possible to receive grants and tax deductible donations to meet fundraising goals that ensure a project's success. Typically, our administration fee is 3% of any donation, grant, or money received under our umbrella.
We have strict guidelines and an application process to join our umbrella. We are careful to ensure that outside projects fit our mission and adhere to proper distribution of funds.
What is Fiscal Sponsorship?
Fiscal Sponsorship offers an organization, program or project the ability to attract donors when it is not recognized as tax-exempt under the Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(3).
The fiscal sponsor serves as the administrative "home" of the project. Charitable contributions are given to the fiscal sponsor, which then allocates funds to support the project's goals.
A fiscal sponsor is a nonprofit organization that provides fiduciary oversight, financial management, and other administrative services to help build the capacity of charitable projects.
The role of the fiscal sponsor can include performing many different administrative functions on behalf of the sponsored organization or program, including taking on the responsibility of receiving and administering charitable contributions on behalf of the sponsored organization.
Fiscal sponsorship requires the fiscal sponsor to accept responsibility for proper use of the funds and the operation of the project the funds support.
The fiscal sponsor, in order to ensure proper use of funds, may exercise control over the recipient organization and is liable for reimbursing the foundation for funds used improperly.
Projects that Inspire
Do you have a project that needs funding?
We are currently accepting applications for projects that fit our guidelines. We do not offer funding. Instead, we offer our 501(c)(3) as a fiscal sponsor so that your project can have the nonprofit status necessary to apply for grants and to receive tax deductible donations to meet your fundraising goals. Please contact us for an application.

Glorious Spirit of Ukraine
Stories of Escaping Putin's War
Support Ukrainian refugees and Ukrainians who have remained inside their country.
We are raising funds to:
1). Complete this documentary project for publication and raise awareness about the Ukrainian war crisis. 2). Employ Ukrainian video editors to complete post-production. 3). Financially assist Ukrainians who are sharing their stories. These funds will help them directly secure shelter, safe passage for their families, and basic needs, such as food and clothing. 4). Once families are settled with basic needs, our fund will help provide therapeutic services to help them heal and process the traumas they have endured.
To date this project has raised $17,000.
