Support our work
Power progress
Your support powers our work. With your partnership, we can develop research and policy solutions that make Washington state a more equitable place to live and work. Together, we can build an economy that works for everyone.
There is more than one way to give.
Donate stock
Transferring stock electronically is the easiest way to make a stock gift. Please provide your broker with the following information:
Recipient name: Economic Opportunity Institute
Receiving account: #2037-1408
Custodian: Seattle First Asset Management, LLC
Brokerage firm DTC number: 0075
Tax ID Number (EOI): 91-1999302
Rollover your IRA withdrawal to us
Many people find that they don’t need the funds from their mandatory IRA withdrawals. If this is you, you can direct your withdrawal to us and advance economic equity.
Taxes are not owed on IRA rollovers to nonprofits, so the nonprofit receives the full withdrawal amount. You can make this decision year by year, making sure your needs are met first. To initiate an IRA rollover, contact your bank or fund manager.
Leave a legacy gift
Make the most of your dollars while leaving a legacy of equity and opportunity through a planned gift.
Giving through your estate is flexible, impactful, and ensures that the work you care about continues in perpetuity.
Please contact our Development Director for more information.
Donate through your workplace
Workplace giving or payroll deduction is an easy way to maximize your support. Some employers will even match your donation, making your gift twice as impactful. We’ve listed some common campaigns and giving opportunities below:

Join us at our annual dinner
As our biggest fundraiser of the year, our annual Changemakers dinner is an uplifting and celebratory evening with our friends, supporters, and advocates. There are a couple of ways you can consider supporting the event.
