Why Give to Echo?

For more than 30 years, Echo has cultivated a welcoming space where everyone can explore circus, expressive movement, and performance within an inclusive community. We center Disabled, Queer, unhoused, and low-income students of all ages and backgrounds, empowering all to take supported risks, get creative, collaborate with diverse peers and be seen onstage!

Like many organizations, Echo is trying to do more with less... supporting our community with drastically reduced grant funding, higher costs, and greater need than ever before. Help us fill our funding gap and ensure many more years of inclusive community arts access.

Your support will enable Echo to:

• Bring the power of circus to more Title 1 schools

• Provide inclusion specialists for Disabled students

• Employ a diverse staff including Queer and Disabled teaching artists

• Sustain accessible rental rates for emerging and established artists

• Ensure a future where all bodies are seen as necessary and worthy celebration.
