These programs are fueled by Member participation in programs, networking functions, promoting your participation, and more. Members participate in one activity from Section A and two activities from Section B over the course of the calendar year. Completion of these activities results in Members earning 60% of a share of the undesignated campaign revenue and corporate revenue. 30% of the undesignated share is earned through completion of the annual application requirements. 10% of the undesignated share is earned through submitting the participation report for the previous year. Members are invited to sign up for a participation planning meeting with staff to further discuss participation opportunities, how EarthShare NC can support your goals in the year ahead, and address any questions you may have. These one-on-one meetings are a valuable way to deepen your involvement and make the most of your membership! 2025 Participation ReportCompletion guarantees the organization receives its 10% of the share of undesignated funds. 1.
