Empowering Our Mission-Driven, Social-Impact Partners To Do Their Best Work
We are a nonprofit organization that provides financial and operational infrastructure so our partners can focus on their missions.
Washington’s Nonprofit Impact
There are over 40,000 nonprofit organizations in Washington state, including public charities, private and public foundations, civic leagues, chambers of commerce, and veterans’ organizations.
All told, they employ over a quarter million people, almost 10% of the state’s workforce. Our nonprofits deliver vital community services, give voices to the people they serve, contribute to vibrant communities and advance solutions for the challenges we face.

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
“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.”

Addressing Growth and Capacity Challenges through Fiscal Sponsorship
The Northwest Nonprofit Capacity Report, a recent survey conducted by five state nonprofit capacity-building associations, in collaboration with the M.J. Murdock Charitable Trust and Dialogues in Action, revealed key areas of capacity strength and need for nonprofits. While nonprofits in the Northwest have a strong sense of their mission and culture, the top challenges identified include limited staffing, financial constraints, technology limitations, and time shortages—all of which hinder operational capacity.
Fiscal sponsorship offers a strategic solution by providing back-office support, including HR, financial management, and administrative services, freeing up needed resources to focus on mission-driven work. Fiscal sponsorship also helps address crucial needs like expanding staffing, improving technology, and securing funding, allowing for efficient growth.
