What Would You Do with 10 Extra Hours a Week?

If you work in the social sector—whether you’re leading strategy, managing programs, or supporting operations—you’ve probably asked yourself this before: 
 
“If I just had more time, what could I finally get to?” 
 
At Evergreen Social Impact (ESI), we work with the people who hold communities together: executive directors, development leads, operations managers, and program staff. Many are juggling grants, payroll, compliance, and reporting, while still trying to show up every day for the mission that brought them to their organization. 
 
The truth is, time isn’t just a nice-to-have; it's essential. So we ask: What would you do with 10 extra hours a week? 
 
For mission-driven organizations, time and capacity are among the most precious (and overlooked) resources, with 95% of nonprofit leaders reporting that staff burnout is a concern, with more than a third saying they are “very concerned” about it.  
 
Many of our Sponsored Partners have small teams or rely on volunteers to accomplish great things. That’s where our team at ESI comes in.  
 
Our financial and operational infrastructure services are designed to give organizations their time back, not just in theory, but in measurable and tangible ways. Time is not spent chasing down invoices or manually reconciling expenses. Time is not lost to navigating complex grant requirements. Time that can be reinvested in people and purpose. 
 
We asked a partner how they used the time they gained by working with ESI. Their answer? 
 
“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.” 
 
If you’re in business development or fundraising, 10 hours might mean following up with more potential partners or preparing for your next big fundraising campaign. 
 
If you’re in operations or finance, it might be the breathing room to plan more innovative systems or catch up on strategic planning. 
 
If you’re early in your career, it might mean a chance to connect the dots between your role and your organization’s long-term impact. 
 
No matter your role or level, those 10 hours aren’t trivial. They’re powerful. 
 
Let’s Help You Find Them. So now, we turn the question to you: What would you do with 10 extra hours a week? If the answer is, “more of what matters most,” we’d love to talk.
