Support Consumer Action
Consumer Action, a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization, is working hard to help individuals and families achieve and maintain economic security, improve their financial wellbeing, understand their rights, and make wise choices in the marketplace. We do this through consumer-focused advocacy and free, unbiased multilingual education. In early 2020, we launched our COVID-19 Educational Project to provide essential information and valuable resources to help low- and moderate-income workers, limited-English speakers and other hard-hit communities cope with the financial fallout of the pandemic.
More than ever, we need your help to continue making timely, real-world financial education available to all those who need it. Please consider sponsoring one of our events or making a tax-deductible donation to Consumer Action today by selecting an option below. Thank you!
Annual Event Pledge
Each fall, we organize a special anniversary event where subject matter experts and the country’s top community educators share information and insights on a topic area of particular relevance at the moment. At the end of the convening, in observance of our anniversary, we present our Consumer Excellence Awards, which recognize outstanding work in the area of consumer advocacy and education. This is our only fundraising event of the year, and your pledge ensures that we can continue to provide our services and educational materials to consumers nationwide at no charge! If you would like more information or would like to make a pledge, please contact Senior Fellow Ken McEldowney by phone (510-333-4886) or email or Interim Executive Director Anna Flores by phone (301-807-1974) or email.

Cy pres Awards

State and federal courts have approved dozens of cy pres grants for Consumer Action in cases involving a wide range of issues, including credit cards, insurance, privacy, TCPA, consumer banking fees, merchant credit/debit card fees, car repossessions, long distance fees, debt collection, income tax refunds, rent-to-own, health care, and housing.
Bequests
Many nonprofit organizations are securing their financial future by seeking bequests from donors who wish to leave a lasting legacy. By naming Consumer Action in your will, as a beneficiary on your retirement/brokerage accounts or life insurance policies, or as the recipient of long-term appreciated securities, you will ensure that future generations of consumers benefit from your generosity.
