Affiliates & Chapters

Visit our Affiliates and their state-based and regional nonprofit partners to learn more about how EarthShare is working in your community. 

EarthShare participates in a wide variety of state and regional workplace giving campaigns — from Oregon to New England — where employees can support a local network of EarthShare nonprofit partners. If you have any questions about chapters and regional EarthShare opportunities please contact us at campaigns@earthshare.org or reach out to one of our state affiliates, below. 

If you’d like to support local environmental nonprofits and don’t currently participate in a workplace giving campaign, check out our Giving & Engagement Platform! EarthShare’s platform makes it easy for everyone to take action for a healthy planet, whether they’re interested in global issues or what’s happening in their own backyard.
