About EarthShare North Carolina
Mission: The mission of EarthShare North Carolina is to strengthen its participating organizations’ capacity to preserve and enhance the natural environment.
Purpose: To raise funds for 63 environmental non-profits through employee workplace giving campaigns and to educate the general public about the value of protecting North Carolina’s natural resources through environmental non-profit organizations.
History: EarthShare North Carolina (ESNC) was incorporated in 1991 as the Environmental Federation of North Carolina, a nonprofit coalition founded to raise funds for North Carolina’s environment. This coalition successfully completed nine years of workplace giving campaigns, raising almost $2.5 million to protect North Carolina’s natural resources. In 2001, the Environmental Federation of North Carolina became ESNC, gaining 38 additional organizations who work for the environment in the national and international arena. The expanded coalition made it easy for North Carolina’s citizens to support environmental needs including those that transcend state borders. Currently ESNC has completed 18 years of campaigns and has raised over $6.5 million for the planet.
Every day, ESNC organizations are working to:
- Protect and clean North Carolina’s air and drinking water
- Preserve parks, rivers, forests, and heritage lands
- Prevent urban sprawl and create smart growth
- Adopt and implement pollution prevention strategies
- Restore wetlands and preserve wildlife habitat
- Promote energy conservation
- Educate children and all residents to be stewards of our natural heritage
- Improve the health and quality of life of North Carolina’s residents
Protecting the environment is not an issue of concern for part of the population, it is important for all people. Less pollution means fewer diseases and healthier crops; better forest management and planning means less erosion and other flooding; recycling programs mean fewer landfills and reducing groundwater; contamination; and more education leads to the development of decision making skills that are aligned with preserving the environment on which we all depend. The result of all these efforts is a healthier, cleaner, and more prosperous North Carolina.
