Built on Trust: How Beloved Strengthened Financial Stewardship Across Its Community

Beloved is a fiscal sponsor for spiritual leaders and faith-based projects across the country, run by a team of four. Before Mazlo, Beloved spent too much time fixing errors from its previous platform. The team needed a better way to track funds, support project leaders, and feel confident that every dollar was in the right place. With Mazlo, Beloved replaced administrative stress with real-time visibility, easier project setup, stronger financial controls, and a clearer view of every sponsored project.

How Forward Global Built a Fiscal Sponsorship Practice on Modern Infrastructure

Forward Global is a 30-year-old philanthropic support organization that decided to enter fiscal sponsorship a few years ago. That decision only became possible because of modern technology and infrastructure. With Mazlo, Forward Global's lean fiscal sponsorship team grew from 6 active projects to 35 in 18 months and launched a $1M+ rapid-response campaign in days. Today, Forward Global actively advises other projects to evaluate any fiscal sponsor by looking at the technology behind its operations.

From Reconciliation Chaos to Real-Time Clarity: How Base Transformed Their Financial Operations With Mazlo

Base is an artist-led nonprofit in South Seattle, supporting risk and invention in dance, performance, and multidisciplinary art. The team is run entirely by working artists. For years, that meant they were often stuck in cycles of financial catch-up. Mazlo changed that, replacing a disconnected mix of banking, bookkeeping, and QuickBooks with one real-time system. Now the team has more confidence, more calm, and more creative ownership over its financial life.

How E2AC Turned Operational Friction into Creative Momentum

Entertainment to Affect Change, also known as E2AC, helps storytellers bring mission-driven projects to life. As more creators came to E2AC for fiscal sponsorship, the organization needed financial systems that could keep up with its growth. Mazlo helped E2AC replace manual, error-prone processes with a more scalable and transparent system. That shift allowed E2AC to grow project capacity by 10x while managing funds with the accuracy and trust that mission-driven storytelling requires.
