The Echo Foundation brings world-renowned humanitarians to Charlotte to deliver messages that galvanize souls to action on behalf of humankind.

While our primary focus is always humanity, our secondary focus is specific to the individual speaker. For example, while Elie Wiesel spoke against indifference, the secondary focus was the Holocaust. In time, other programs may center on race relations, children’s well-being, human rights, ethnic warfare, justice and ethical decision making.
