Made out to "ECOSIA East Valley." Tax-deductible. Receipts mailed within 10 business days. Address on the back of every Sunday bulletin.
We accept appreciated stock + Donor-Advised Fund grants through Charityvest. The capital-gains math is often more useful to you than a cash gift of equivalent value.
Bequests + life-insurance beneficiary designations + qualified charitable distributions from IRAs. We’re happy to walk you through it with our planned-giving advisor over coffee.
A Q-by-Q line-item financial breakdown, published 30 days after quarter close. If we get the math wrong, we re-publish with a clear erratum.
Independent third-party audit by Tucker & Vega CPAs every March. Audit letter + opinion published in full to anyone who asks.
Real human answers about where any specific gift went. The treasurer’s direct line is on every receipt and at the bottom of this page.
“I wanted to know that the $50 was actually doing $50 of work, not getting eaten by overhead. The quarterly report is the reason I doubled the gift in year two.”

“We chose to send our DAF grant here over our usual two channels because the field photos are real, the math is published, and the trees are visibly there when you drive past Ellsworth.”

It’s the unglamorous math that compounds. Twenty-five dollars, twelve months, sixty months. Native saplings in the ground, surviving the summer.
