MarinLink serves as a fiscal sponsor and incubator for more that 140 community based grassroots projects. Over the last year we have successfully launched 21 nonprofits. The following is a quote from one of MarinLink's Sponsored projects that I think sums it all up quite nicely:
"Very impressive! I truly appreciate the thoughtfulness, time, efforts, care and detail that went into providing us all with educational tools (manuals, books, handouts, name signs, snacks, etc.).
When I tell people (who have never been in business for themselves) that MarinLink is acting as my "Fiscal Agent" and that they MarinLink takes a percentage of the funds I raise for my business and projects, they have a tendency to think that's a lot of $. But, I see it quite differently. Not only am I THANKFUL for an entity like MarinLink, but I WANT to succeed in order for MarinLink to succeed, so that not only can I continue to succeed, but other companies, as well under MarinLink's auspices.
I have an adage which I live by: If you want a business to succeed....PATRONIZE IT! It's as simple as that.
What I love about MarinLink is that it's such a positive "Win-Win" organization. Also, the whole purpose of my business concept (aside from the main thrust of exposing the public to the excellent artistic talents of incarcerated individuals, as well as help change the public's perception about them) is to CONTRIBUTE to other non-profit community based organizations."
