Economic Opportunity Institute
- Economic Opportunity Institute
The Economic Opportunity Institute (EOI) is a nonpartisan, not-for-profit public policy organization founded in 1998 and based in Seattle, Washington.
EOI utilizes research, education and advocacy to shape public policy debate and promote new public policies focused on shared prosperity, retirement security, work-life standards, and education.
Its mission is to forge realistic and robust public policies that build long-term economic security, promote economic opportunity, and ensure the benefits of prosperity are universally available for Washington's middle-class and low-income workers.
EOI does not solicit or accept public funds; its work is funded primarily by donations from private individuals, grants from private foundations, and a small amount of union support.
