About Us
ECHO was
founded in 2002 with the firm belief that every country deserves improved
economic success. With that in mind, ECHO has expanded in the past 22 years to
become a charitable organization serving the underprivileged. Our goal is to
bring aid and assistance to the straitened countries of the world. Through
different programs including education, income-generating skills training,
healthcare services, improved sanitation, and support for small-scale
entrepreneurial activities, ECHO has dedicated itself toward serving the
underprivileged.
Our Vision
To be able to
bring relief to economically distressed regions of Bangladesh and other areas
of the world through education, training, support, and care.
ECHO USA is a 501(c)(3) non-profit org with Tax ID 71-0913828.
ECHO USA: 100% Volunteer-Driven, Maximizing Your Impact
At ECHO USA, we take pride in being a completely volunteer-run organization. With no paid staff in the United States or Bangladesh, our dedicated team ensures that your donations have the greatest possible impact.
Our commitment is to transparency and efficiency. When collaborating with local organizations in the U.S. or our partners in Bangladesh, we work diligently to keep project implementation costs under 5%. This means that for every dollar you donate, $0.95 goes directly to our programs, while only $0.05 or less is allocated for essential overhead expenses.
These minimal overhead costs cover necessary administrative tasks such as maintaining beneficiary records, website upkeep, and tax filings. Importantly, all public relations expenses, including fundraising and community appreciation events, are fully funded by ECHO’s Executive Committee. Not a single penny from your donations is used for these activities.
Our volunteers go above and beyond to ensure your contributions create lasting change for those who need it most. If you have any questions, we’re here to help—reach out to us at [email protected].
Together, we’re making a difference.
