Your project deserves more than a fiscal home. It deserves a real partner.
ERI provides the nonprofit infrastructure, strategic co-design, global network, and on-the-ground support that mission-aligned projects need to launch, grow, and scale — with a partner who is genuinely invested in your success.
Who this is for
You have the vision. We help you build it.
A project partnership with ERI is a good fit whether you're starting from scratch or looking to take an existing initiative further.
A social entrepreneur
With a bold idea and the drive to make it real — but needing nonprofit infrastructure, funder access, and a partner to shape and scale it.
A community leader
With a grassroots initiative already underway — ready to connect to global networks, access funding, and amplify local solutions.
An existing project
Doing meaningful work but needing 501(c)(3) status, stronger infrastructure, or a strategic partner to move to the next level.
One requirement: Projects must align with ERI's mission and principles — grounded in justice, equity, ecological harmony, and community-led change. Not sure if your project fits? Reach out and let's explore it together.
What ERI brings
More than a fiscal sponsor.
A full collaborative partner.
Most fiscal sponsors provide a legal home and step back. ERI stays in — bringing strategic thinking, global connections, and implementation experience alongside you at every stage.
Nonprofit infrastructure
Operate under ERI's established 501(c)(3) status — receive tax-deductible donations, apply for grants, and access institutional funding without the overhead of forming your own nonprofit.
Co-design & strategy
ERI works with you from the beginning to refine your vision, develop your theory of change, and build a strategy grounded in ecological and justice principles.
Network & connections
Access ERI's global network of partners, community organizations, funders, and institutional allies built over two decades across six continents.
Implementation support
ERI doesn't just advise — we accompany. From community engagement and program delivery to Living Lab integration and regional expansion, we bring hands-on support.
