_(To summarize: were a donor-supported nonprofit so outside of planned grant programs, we don't provide financial support to hackathons/other nonprofits. However, there are all kinds of ways wed love to help out your project, so read on.)_
[Hack Club](https://hackclub.com/) is an independent nonprofit, supported by donors, with a responsibility to our supporters to spend our budget directly on our core programs. Therefore, as much as wed like to, **were not in a position to provide financial support to hackathons/other nonprofits**. We occasionally run grant programs, like the [$500 grant for IRL high school hackathons](https://hackclub.com/hackathons/grant). We wish you the best of luck in your sponsorship search—we recommend [Megan Cuis “Meginar”](https://youtu.be/tOmXzA4reTY) and [Lachlan Campbells Flagship talk](https://notebook.lachlanjc.com/2020-01-19_how_to_start_your_first_hackathon/) if youre looking for advice.
If youre looking for [fiscal sponsorship](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiscal_sponsorship) (aka becoming a legal nonprofit), weve got your back—[Hack Club Bank](https://hackclub.com/bank/) will set you up with a nonprofit bank account, legal entity, debit cards for your team, automated taxes/accounting, G Suite, an online donation form, ACH/check sending/receiving, discounts on stickers & software for your team, and great support. There are no upfront fees. Sign up at <https://hackclub.com/bank/>.
## If youre running a hackathon…
1. Link your event on <https://hackathons.hackclub.com/>. Theres an application form on the website. The site has the largest email list of high school hackathon-goers, and will email all the subscribers who live within driving distance of your event. Its also the first Google result for “high school hackathons,” so itll help your SEO.
2. Wed be happy to send some Hack Club stickers to your event. Email us <team@hackclub.com> with the name of your event, expected attendance, and the shipping address and well get them in the mail.
3. [Join our Slack community](https://hackclub.com/slack/), and ask for access to the `#hackathon-organizers` channel. You can ask questions and talk to 500+ hackathon organizers from all over.
## If youre running a club…
Were a network of [hundreds](https://hackclub.com/map/) of high school clubs around the world. We provide mentorship/coaching, stickers, curriculum, Zoom Pro access for virtual meetings/events, and more. [Learn more here.](https://hackclub.com/clubs/)
