  • Advertising contribution2% of Gross Sales to the National Advertising Fund, paid weekly

  • Local marketingSupplemental fund: 2% of Gross Sales weekly, or local spending: at least 4% of annual Gross Sales

    Local spending applies while you do not contribute to the supplemental fund; both alternatives are separate from the national fund. Supplemental participation renews every two years unless you give written notice at least 90 days before term end. Advertising needs brand approval. If a fund ends, its spending obligation continues locally or through required cooperative contributions.
