Where is my earnings and patron count summary?
You can find your patron count and per month earnings under the Overview section of your page. You can navigate to these numbers by clicking My page from the left sidebar navigation.
You can also access your overview numbers in the Membership summary section of your Membership dashboard.
This number fluctuates depending on your patron count, adjustments to pledged amounts, declines, and cancellations. We display annual pledges as their monthly equivalent (annual pledge amount divided by 12).
