We guarantee it. We are a Registered Australian Charity and have a charter that governs how we operate and what causes we support. We are completely transparent in our operations and our books are regularly audited. We get audited every years by the ACAC and these reports are available on the ACAC website. We started this charity as we were disappointed to find that some older charities don’t always follow through on what they say they will do, or take too long to act.
Because we are passionate and dedicated to ensuring we do what we say. And it’s part of our charter, so we have to, or we loose our official charity status. Echo International Aid is operated entirely by reputable volunteers with a long history of doing the right thing by others. Because everyone volunteers there are no wages to pay, and we do not reimburse travel or expenses either. We do have some admin costs (like bank fees, hosting this website and phone calls) however these costs are paid for by our volunteers themselves and are never deducted from the donations we receive.
Not at all. We accept all kinds of financial support, large or small. You can choose to support us with an ongoing monthly payment or a one off donation. You can donate via Stripe on our website, by PayPal or by direct bank deposit if you prefer. If you are interested in helping us then get in touch today. We are always looking for new and interesting ways to support others.
Absolutely. If your situation has changed and you can no longer pay your monthly commitment, simply contact us and we will terminate your direct debit right away. You can also choose to support us with a one-off donation if you don’t want the monthly commitment. We would never want your money if you do not have the means to donate – there are many other ways you can help including volunteering or just inviting others to support us.
Yes. We use Stripe for all our transactions who are highly secure. Stripe use industry-leading technology (such as SSL) to keep your information safe.
