Strength in Solidarity – Fiscal Sponsorship as Intentional Community Building: Collective Action and Resource Sharing in Puerto Rico
Keywords:
Puerto Rico, solidarity economy, collective action, equity and social justice, disaster reliefAbstract
Fiscal sponsors, in particular the comprehensive form, are essentially cooperatized infrastructure. As the field of fiscal sponsorship has become a go-to solution for movement building, social justice, and crisis-response work in our sector, we see sponsors moving toward more intentional community and Solidarity Economy strategies. With growth comes specialization, as we see fiscal sponsors focusing not just by geography and mission but also by identity. This evolution, coupled with less transactional and more transformational supports, supported by more peer governance approaches, makes fiscal sponsors hubs for gathering strength and resilience through intentional community building.
