The Council Affiliate program is designed to strengthen the arts and humanities sector through partnership, shared services and advocacy. Ahha’s council affiliates are the Arts & Humanities Council of Tulsa, serving as a collective impact group for the sector.
Emerging and established artists and organizations that are fulfilling an arts or humanities-related community need, are organized and are in good financial standing may become Council affiliates. Council affiliates are part of a strong network working to grow arts and cultural offerings in Tulsa. Benefits include:

Fiscal Sponsorship is a formal arrangement in which ahha sponsors a project that lacks 501(c)3 status. We believe fiscal sponsorship provides a great benefit to Council Affiliates and is consistent with our mission to cultivate a more creative Tulsa. In order for a project to be considered for fiscal sponsorship, an organization must fill out an official Fiscal Sponsorship Application. The application will then be reviewed and approved or denied by the ahha Board of Directors.
Once a Fiscal Sponsorship Application is approved, the organization must complete a Fiscal Sponsorship Contract, which details the responsibilities and conditions of the arrangement. In general, organizations/projects under fiscal sponsorship must:
Effective July 1, 2017, ahha retains 5% of all funds for sponsored project as an administrative fee.
If you are in need of a fiscal sponsorship, you can apply online or download the fiscal sponsorship application and email or mail it to ahha.
