All gifts are tax-deductible to the full extent allowed by law. Contributions are solicited with the understanding that ECHO maintains full control and discretion over the use of donated funds. Our board-approved policy is to apply all gifts designated for a specific project to that project, with allocations for administrative and fundraising expenses. Occasionally, we receive more contributions for a project than can be effectively used; in such cases, funds will be directed to similar programs or needs that align with ECHO’s mission. ECHO is committed to stewarding resources wisely to maximize impact in support of our work. ECHO is a member of the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability.
