About Evergreen Freedom Foundation (d.b.a. Freedom Foundation)
Founded in 1991 and headquartered in Olympia, Washington, the organization formerly known as Evergreen Freedom Foundation now operates as the Freedom Foundation and is registered with the U.S. IRS as a 501(c)(3) public charity (EIN: 94-3136961).
The group describes itself as a public‑policy and legal advocacy organization that focuses on informing public‑sector employees about their right to opt out of union membership, pursuing litigation and public records requests, and promoting policy reforms to limit union political power and expand government transparency.
In recent years the organization has expanded its litigation and outreach work beyond Washington state, operated active opt‑out and education campaigns, and reported substantial organizational growth in revenues and staff.
