What we aim to solve

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

Despite increasing awareness of the impacts of climate change and the need to protect and preserve our environment, environmental causes and organizations receive a very small fraction of charitable gifts made annually in the United States. EarthShare Washington works to amplify the critical issues facing our communities, increase support for environmental causes at large, and direct that support to the most effective nonprofit organizations working every day to protect and preserve our natural resources for everyone's benefit.

Elevating & Supporting Our Washington Partners

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

EarthShare Washington envisions a future in which everyone works together to champion the environment.

To realize that vision, we foster meaningful connections between leading edge environmental organizations and public and private sector workplaces.

Since 1987, EarthShare Washington has been a trusted partner and leading voice for employee involvement in environmental causes through workplace giving and volunteerism. Our staff bring years of experience in both the corporate and nonprofit sectors to bear in creating meaningful connections and communicating the value of workplace involvement in our state's environmental future. Further, EarthShare Washington's Nonprofit Partners represent the full breadth of environmental issues and present a comprehensive menu of options for workplace giving campaigns and volunteer opportunities.

EarthShare Washington partners with companies and government agencies to build support and visibility for leading edge environmental organizations working locally, nationally and globally. We raise more than $200,000 annually in direct support of our Nonprofit Partner's critical work. Yet there is much more to be done - both on the ground in creating vibrant communities and a healthy environment, and in opening up still more workplaces to aligning employees' personal values with employers' organizational values in addressing Washington's environmental future.

Data
  • We review compensation data across the organization (and by staff levels) to identify disparities by race.
  • We disaggregate data to adjust programming goals to keep pace with changing needs of the communities we support.
  • We employ non-traditional ways of gathering feedback on programs and trainings, which may include interviews, roundtables, and external reviews with/by community stakeholders.
Policies and processes
  • We use a vetting process to identify vendors and partners that share our commitment to race equity.
  • We seek individuals from various race backgrounds for board and executive director/CEO positions within our organization.
  • We have community representation at the board level, either on the board itself or through a community advisory board.
  • We engage everyone, from the board to staff levels of the organization, in race equity work and ensure that individuals understand their roles in creating culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.
