Donor Recognition Tiers

A message of welcome and appreciation for our donors:

​​

The EENC team owes every aspect of our success to the support of our donors: financial contributions directly drive our ability to offer professional learning opportunities, advocate for environmental education across North Carolina, host our annual conferences, and implement innovative projects with key partners to strengthen environmental education capacity nationwide.

All donors receive email and written thank you cards, get added to our quarterly donor newsletter, and are listed (small print below $500) in our Annual Report. At the below giving levels, donors are also eligible for all listed recognition opportunities.
