ECHO Systems - Development Fund

We are raising 45k to hire a professional Development lead/ grant writer. 

Will you please become a sustaining member today? 

For years, ECHO Systems has done the extraordinary: securing more than $130,000 to fund our work, grant by grant, rejection by rejection, entirely on our own.

That record speaks to something real: our mission matters, and our people pour themselves into it. But grinding through grant applications without a dedicated professional absorbing every rejection and celebrating every hard-won win is not a sustainable path to growth.

We are ready to change that. For the first time, we are asking our community directly: will you invest in us the way we have invested in our mission? 

Hiring a professional development lead is the single most leveraged investment we can make right now. This person would expand our grant pipeline, improve our success rate, and free our team to focus on programming. But to make that hire, we need a reliable, recurring revenue stream, and we are looking to our community, our friends, and family to make this real. Particularly during a time when federal funding is unstable and our social fabric is deeply strained, we need your support. 

What does your sustaining gift make possible? 

• Monthly contributions create the steady cash flow needed to make payroll for a development lead
• A stronger grants pipeline means more funding for programs and community impact
• Organizational stability enables us to do the important work we envision, keeping our communities safe from undue environmental burdens and improving access to reuse and waste reduction infrastructure. 
• Your ongoing commitment signals to funders that our community stands behind us.
