Corporate Sponsorship
Corporate Social Responsibility is not an option anymore. Thanks to the increase of socially conscious consumers and businesses, socially responsible business is becoming a leading force in making changes that help create a more sustainable world.
An extensive market study involving more than 10,000 consumers in 10 countries, including the United States, Canada, Brazil, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Russia, China, India and Japan found:
-
More than 90 percent of shoppers worldwide are likely to switch to brands that support a good cause, given similar price and quality.
-
Consumers expect more from the businesses where they shop. Just 6 percent of the consumers surveyed believe the singular purpose of business is to make money for shareholders, with more than 90 percent saying they want to see more of the products and services they use supporting corporate social responsibility.
-
Overall, more than 80 percent of those surveyed consider social and environmental issues when deciding where to work, what to buy, where to shop and which products and services to recommend to others.
​Earth Citizens Organization (ECO) has been established to provide training and education to promote mindful living and holistic wellness to make our world more sustainable. We especially focus on educating young community leaders, who, after training, share the tools and practices for mindful living with community members through a variety of outreach activities.
Supporting ECO will highlight your company’s integrity and effort to fulfill the corporate social responsibility for a better world. We believe this support will help strengthen the consumer's loyalty more powerfully than conventional marketing, and establish a good example of a corporation, a public charity and the community working together for a common cause that affects the wellbeing of all parties involved.

Endowments
An endowed gift is a gift that ECO holds in perpetuity. This gift is invested, and only a portion of its average annual investment return is used for operations or purposes specified by the donor. To guard against the eroding consequences of inflation, the remaining investment return is added to the principal. The goal is to ensure that the principal maintains its value over time. Thus, a donor who creates an endowed gift today can be confident that it will grow and continue to support ECO in the years to come.
​
The following categories are examples of the types of endowments a donor may create:
-
General Endowment: This endowment supports general operations of ECO. A small percentage of the three-year rolling average balance of the general endowment is provided to operations each year. This method ensures the permanent nature of the principal or corpus of the endowment while providing a portion of the annual income from the investments to the operation of ECO.
-
Development Endowment: This endowment supports the completion of the development plan for the campus in Arizona as the primary location for developing leaders to fulfill our mission.
-
Scholarship Endowment: Scholarships allow ECO to meet one of its highest obligations: to provide training and education for numerous students who may otherwise be unable to participate in the programs. Endowed scholarships are an ongoing reminder of the important role that generous donors play in educating the future leaders in the spirit of Earth Citizenship. A scholarship may be established in honor or memory of someone important in a donor’s life.

Apply for a Matching Gift
Many respected companies in the U.S. present matching gift opportunities to promote their employees’ engagement in the charitable causes of their communities. This provides a very powerful means to support ECO to advance its mission. Some companies allow matching gift for the donation by the spouses of their employees as well.
When you donate to ECO, please check with your company whether it has a matching gift policy. The process of matching gift varies depending on the matching gift policy. You may be required to report to your company after your donation or to donate through associated matching gift service. Please check with your company for the exact process. Your company may require ECO’s organizational information to determine matching eligibility.
