All donations to ECHO, of any amount, are greatly appreciated. Even as little as $5 is enough to buy a week's worth of healthy snacks and lunches for a school child in Ecuador.
Ecuador Children's Hope Organization is a 501(C)(3) organization, so contributions to ECHO are fully tax deductible as provided by law.

Become a Sponsor ... Adopt-a-Classroom!
ECHO's Adopt-a-Classroom program unites sponsors who collaborate to cover the year-long costs of a child attending primary school at CENIT, covering expenses ranging from school books for the children to a teacher's salary.
Any donation amount is welcomed, but suggested amounts are:
- $40 - to cover one child for a month
- $240 - to cover one child for six months
- $480 - to cover one child for a full year

Contribute to a specific program
If you would like to earmark your donation for a specific CENIT program, we will make sure that your money is credited towards your chosen program.

Make a general donation
Besides taking donations earmarked for specific CENIT programs, ECHO also accepts general donations. These donations are used to pay for programs or positions that haven't received adequate funding through CENIT's efforts, yet are crucial to CENIT's operations. By contributing to this general fund, you are allowing ECHO to work with CENIT to determine where these funds can have the most impact. General donations are sent to CENIT twice a year.
Send your donation by mail
We understand that not everyone is comfortable sharing their financial information on the web. If you would like to donate to ECHO but don't feel comfortable making the donation online, please download, print, and mail in our form with your check. (Sorry, credit cards cannot be accepted for donations sent by mail, and cash should never be sent in the mail.)

Together, we can make a difference ... but think how much more we could do if all those other people joined us as well!
