Echelon fosters a membership community by hosting fun, interesting social events that mobilize and inspire the next generation.

Echelon partners with existing Salvation Army ministries who are already effectively meeting the needs of the least of these in DFW.

Echelon acts as an Angel Investor providing seed funding to the newest and most innovative ministries of the Salvation Army.

We host social and service events for emerging professionals in the DFW area to build momentum and raise awareness to the amazing work the Salvation Army is doing in our community and around the world. We have developed a membership program that raises money for local Salvation Army ministries while bringing together the next generation of Salvation Army supporters.

Rather than re-inventing the wheel, we seek to empower and multiply the effectiveness of existing SA ministries. Each year we donate a significant portion of the funds we raise to these ministries with unmet funding needs. The flexibility of our funding and our innovative thinking can take ministries to the next level. Whether we are buying school busses or funding an addiction treatment center, we seek to be force multipliers for ministries that are stable and effective in their work.

As the needs of our community continue to abound, so do new opportunities to serve. These needs are often in the darkest and least-served recesses of our community, where funding can be difficult to secure. Echelon is able to step in at this early stage to provide the seed funding needed to get these new ministries off the ground. Once stable, regional and national Salvation Army chapters take over the funding and support needs.
