We are a nonprofit organization that provides financial and operational infrastructure so our partners can focus on their missions.
Washington’s Nonprofit Impact

Operating Infrastructure for Nonprofits
Evergreen Social Impact (ESI) is a nonprofit, 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization that fiscally sponsors public/private partnerships, nonprofit organizations, and unincorporated charitable projects in the Pacific Northwest. ESI provides our partners with required and necessary administrative resources, enabling them to better focus on fulfilling their missions, building organizational capacity, and improving our communities.
Our nonprofit fiscal sponsorship provides:
- “Turnkey” 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status
- Built-in infrastructure
- Expertise in nonprofit operations
- Expertise in government funding requirements (including reporting and document retention)
- A leadership network: ESI brings project leaders together to share ideas and support one another
Through the fiscal sponsor model, services are scaled to program needs, reducing/sharing the full array of administrative costs that would otherwise be carried by one program.
“With the support of ESI, we are now going to be able to focus our efforts and energy on our community without worrying about how all of the other back-end work is going to get done. ESI’s support is a game changer for us.”
