Through word-of-mouth, referrals and affiliate partnerships, we currently are working with five fiscal sponsorship-only clients. Additionally, TNC is serving as the charitable fiscal sponsor for the annual Sigma Awards, a competition to celebrate the best data journalism from around the world.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
