Senior Grants Manager

Evergreen Treatment Services (ETS) is a mission-driven nonprofit organization specializing in substance use treatment and homeless outreach services. ETS has been serving the Puget Sound region for more than 50 years. Our work is organized into two areas: Clinic Services and REACH. 

Our Clinic Services team provides medication, counseling, and treatment to more than 4,500 people with opioid use disorder annually at three clinics in Seattle, Renton, and Olympia, Washington. REACH provides street-based social services for more than 6,000 people living outside or unstably housed, many of whom have had interactions with the criminal legal system. Many ETS participants have endured trauma and harm from broken and oppressive institutional systems that are often the root cause of their substance use. We strive to uplift the humanity and dignity of each person we serve as we walk alongside them on their journey to better their lives.   

While ETS’ funding portfolio includes both private and public dollars, ETS’ philanthropic arm is in growth mode. In additional to annual fundraising efforts, ETS is embarking on a capital campaign to redevelop our largest clinic site, as well as the purchase and development of a new flagship site for our REACH programs.
