Multiplier

Multiplier is a nonprofit organisation founded in 2001, originally as the Trust for Conservation Innovation, that provides fiscal sponsorship and administrative support to projects pursuing a healthy, sustainable, resilient and equitable world. By acting as fiscal sponsor, it allows projects to obtain 501(c)(3) status quickly while it manages the operational work that accompanies running a nonprofit.

The organisation's administrative support covers the burdens of nonprofit operation - tax filings, payroll processing, insurance and audits - with the stated aim of freeing project leaders to concentrate on mission-critical work rather than overhead. Its model is cross-sector, spanning conservation, public health, environmental education, economic development, clean energy, climate resilience, sustainable food systems and social equity.

Multiplier describes its purpose as accelerating impact through systemic change, and its remit has broadened over time from its conservation origins to a wider range of initiatives. Roles at the organisation are tied to this mission-driven work across the environmental and social-equity fields it supports.
