Flock
Flock uses design as a foundational form of protest, advocacy, and organizational sustainability.
We embed our work in movement spaces using design as a method of counterstorytelling and protest through programs like the Courier Pigeon and our Distro Project. Flock also supports grassroots organizations as a fiscal sponsor.

Is Fiscal Sponsorship Right for You?
Hatch & Flock partners with grassroots organizations and community-led initiatives through Model A short-term or long-term fiscal sponsorship agreements. Our approach goes beyond administrative support. We provide collaborative partnership rooted in community, accountability, and collective care so you can focus on creating impact.
Fiscal sponsorship may be a good fit if you:
- Are launching a new initiative and want to grow within a collaborative, supportive environment
- Want to spend more time doing community-based work and less time managing back-office operations
- Have a small team and need additional administrative capacity
- Are looking for a values-aligned partner to help strengthen your organization’s infrastructure
- Eventually want to become a 5013c, but need an interim solution to apply for grants, solicit donations, and operate in the meantime
