Donation to Esprit Operating Funds Esprit has many expenses. Your financial support of any amount is greatly appreciated! More... Esprit is a nonprofit organization. While much of our income is from registration fees, they don't cover all our costs, and donations like yours are a welcome and vital source of funding. We sincerely thank you for your support. Esprit is not a registered 501(c)(3) charitable organization, so unfortunately we can't give you a tax receipt.	Amount:
Donation to Esprit Scholarship Fund Your donation to the Scholarship Fund can help people attend Esprit who otherwise would not be able to. More... Esprit has changed hundreds of lives, and has saved many. Yet for many the cost simply puts it out of reach. The Scholarship Fund provides financial aid to individuals by covering the cost of the convention. A committee of three evaluates applications and awards funds based on several criteria of which one is financial need. Your donation will help make it possible for someone to attend Esprit next year.
