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.”
People’s Voice on Climate
“ESI’s Model C structure provides the credibility, legal infrastructure, and administrative oversight necessary for us to build momentum quickly and responsibly while staying compliant with funder requirements.”
