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.
“Thanks to the support of ESI, PVOC members now have the capacity to focus on what we do best—working with our partners and developing programs that promote our mission.”

Pride Across the Bridge Joins Evergreen Social Impact
The 2SLGBTQIA+ community in East King County has long struggled with visibility, representation, and access to essential resources. Unlike neighboring Seattle, where queer-friendly spaces and services are more established, many Eastside residents have historically felt overlooked. Enter Pride Across the Bridge (PAB)—a grassroots nonprofit dedicated to uplifting, connecting, and advocating for the queer community in this often-underserved region.
Founded in January 2023, Pride Across the Bridge has quickly become a vital resource, hosting free or sliding-scale events and programs that foster belonging, creativity, and support. From Rainbow Elder Breakfasts to QTPOC Collective gatherings and their flagship annual event, Redmond Pride, PAB is filling a long-standing gap for LGBTQIA+ individuals on the Eastside.
Now, in an exciting new chapter, PAB has joined Evergreen Social Impact (ESI) as a fiscally sponsored partner. This partnership allows the organization to expand its reach, strengthen its operations, and continue its life-changing work with greater sustainability.
