The Annual Membership Dues for membership with the ECA are $125.00. An invoice for this amount is mailed with your credentials each December and payable in January. Persons may make advance arrangements to send partial payments, rather than the entire amount. An automatic late fee of $35.00 is assessed for all accounts not receiving full or partial payment by July 1.

Your annual dues payment helps to offset the operation expenses of the ECA. Because Annual Membership Dues payments alone do not meet our fiscal needs, we would also appreciate you considering contributions from time to time. This enables us to continue to keep Membership Dues affordable for each of our members.

As a 501 (c) (3) charitable, nonprofit organization, the Evangelical Church Alliance depends on donations for supplemental funding. Each year, thousands of individuals designate a portion of their assets by bequest to benefit charities. Bequests have become an important part of the American philanthropic tradition because they enable individuals to make significant gifts that they may not have been able to make during their life.

Bequests can include specific assets, such as stock, and can state a specified dollar amount. A residual bequest designates all or a portion of whatever remains after all debts, taxes, expenses, and all other bequests has been paid. A contingent bequest takes effect only if the primary intention cannot be met. For example, you might wish to leave a bequest to a certain individual; but, if that person does not survive you, then the bequest would go to the ECA. This ensures that property will pass to the ECA rather than unintended beneficiaries, including the government.

While most people own some form of life insurance because of its unique ability to meet a variety of needs for financial protection, its role in planned charitable giving is frequently overlooked. Life insurance itself can be the direct funding medium of a gift to the ECA, permitting the donor to make a substantial gift for a relatively modest annual outlay. If you would like to leave a bequest to the ECA or name the ECA as a beneficiary of your life insurance, talk with your estate planner or attorney. This might be an avenue that would allow you to make a substantial investment in God's work long after you've received your eternal reward.
