Extra Commitment Opportunities (ECOs) are mission projects supported through gifts from individuals, groups and monies over and above sessions' adopted budgets. Women's Ministries has many ECO projects funded through the kind and generous contributions of individuals and groups. These gifts are making a great difference in some of our programs.

You may donate online to an ECO project using your credit card. If you prefer, you may call (800) 872-3283 to make a credit card donation using a telephone or if you have questions. Checks may be mailed to Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), Individual Remittance Processing, P.O. Box 643700, Pittsburgh, PA 15264-3700.

Thank you for your support!

Gifts will be used in two ways: to build Talitha Qumi Centre which will house the Institute's library, meeting room and office; and to provide for program events, such as local and regional Way-Forward Seminars and national and pan-African conferences on women's issues.
