Does NC GreenPower keep part of my contribution? What other funds are used?
NC GreenPower retains 25% of all contributions to the program to pay for administrative and marketing costs. That translates to $1 out of every $4. This amount is standard in many green power programs across the nation and is necessary to support outreach and educational activities. Additional funds are also derived from corporate contributions and from utility participation. NC GreenPower also receives funding from grants for specific program activities.
