ECS relies on the generosity of its individual, parish, foundation, and corporate donors for a substantial portion of its annual operating budget of over $10 million. As government funding continues to decline, annual fund giving has become even more crucial in helping bridge the gap.
Each gift to the annual fund is spent in the year it is received, immediately helping those struggling under the burden of poverty in the Philadelphia region.
