Allows toxic environment, lacks oversight and transparency - Anonymous employee Earth Island Institute Employee Review

Fiscally sponsored organizations operating under EII's 501c3 can function without the important checks and balances typical of a 501c3 organization with its own board of directors. Workers are not protected. EII sponsors many great orgs, but not all are good. Look into the turnover rate of a fiscally sponsored org before you consider a job. If an employer doesn't encourage you to speak directly with current or former employees, consider what that might indicate.
