1.  Whether you are a recent friend of ECHO or a longtime supporter, we value your interest and involvement. We promise to keep you informed on how we are investing money and how ECHO is helping to make a difference around the world.

2.  We promise to remain true to our mission. As you know, our mission is to find practical solutions to global hunger through ideas, information, seeds and training. We want you to know that we will not veer from this. We lay our plans, build our budgets and monitor our results to better achieve this mission. You can have confidence that we are "staying the course."

3.  We depend on your faithful giving, but we promise not to create a monthly crisis to encourage you to give. Whether a small regular gift or a larger estate gift, we rely on your financial support to help us accomplish our important mission. The more you give, the more we can do. It’s that simple.

4.  We pledge financial fidelity. We wince when we hear of scandals involving nonprofit organizations because this casts a shadow over all charities. And so we promise to you that financial integrity is extremely important to us. We have an annual audit and maintain strict accounting and reporting rules. Our books are open and we invite any donor to scrutinize us to the limit. Your contribution to ECHO is treated carefully and with a keen sense of stewardship.

5.  We don’t sell or share our donor list. We promise to keep all your information strictly confidential
