Individual membership/donation
Consumer Action depends on the ongoing financial support of individuals. Members receive a subscription to the quarterly Consumer Action News as well as our monthly newsletters: SCAM GRAM and INSIDER. New members also receive How to Complain.
Anniversary fundraiser
Each fall, Consumer Action hosts its Consumer Excellence Awards fundraiser in Washington, D.C. The reception honors individuals and organizations that have taken leadership positions on behalf of consumers nationwide. Attendees include the business community, civic leaders, policymakers and stakeholders. A variety of sponsorship levels are available.
National Consumer Empowerment Conference
Become a supporter of Consumer Action’s annual National Consumer Empowerment Conference. Each September, this highly regarded conference gathers community group partners along with consumer education experts and advocates, legislative, regulatory and industry representatives, and other key stakeholders to address critical issues and share best practices in community-based consumer education.
Cy pres awards
For two decades, courts have granted cy pres funding to Consumer Action because of our unique ability to serve the plaintiff class with unbiased education and outreach in virtually any type of case. State and federal courts have approved dozens of cy pres grants for Consumer Action in cases involving a wide range of subjects, 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.
Make a bequest to Consumer Action
Many non-profit 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. If you would like more information, please contact Ken McEldowney, Consumer Action's executive director, by phone (415-777-9648) or by email ([email protected]).
Corporate education partners
Changing demographics have created a new and exciting marketplace in the U.S.—one in which not all participants speak the same language. Your company can benefit from putting consumer education materials in the hands of all consumers, including non-English speakers, and Consumer Action can help you do that. For more information on a corporate education partnership, please contact Ken McEldowney, Consumer Action's executive director, by phone (415-777-9648) or by email ([email protected]).
