Participating policies are life insurance policies that pay dividends, where dividends enable you (the policyholders) to participate in the insurance company's favorable experiences (such as higher than expected investment returns or lower than expected operation.)
Non-participating policies, historically belong to the stock companies where the company's favorable expenses were paid to the stock holders, rather than the people who own policies within the insurance company.
Even though the participating policies were mostly offered by the the mutual insurance companies, due to consumer appeals to receive dividends, stock companies also started offering participating policies.
You should keep in mind that the dividends are not guaranteed and it is illegal for insurance agents to make future projections (where the participating policies also tend to have little higher premiums.)

What does whole life insurance mean?
Whole life insurance, as the name implies, is insurance which provides coverage for the policyholder's entire lifetime. Whole life policies can be divided into two categories: participating and non-participating. Both policies provide level premiums, lifetime protection and a guaranteed cash value-but participating whole life plans pay an annual dividend. The annual dividend is NOT guaranteed, and in most instances is linked to long-term interest rates as well as the insurance company's performance. If you have an existing participating whole life policy which was purchased in a high interest environment, it is a good idea to request an updated policy illustration-the projected values may have changed dramatically. Most participating whole life policies have multiple dividend options.

What is the difference between a medicare participating provider and nonparticipating?
Like most things involving the government, it's kind of complicated, but basically: A participating provider has agreed to submit all claims to the Medicare program. A non-participating provider may choose to submit, or not to submit, claims to Medicare on a case-by-case basis. The biggest practical difference to a patient covered by Medicare is that if they go to a participating provider they will probably only be asked to cover the Medicare co-payment at the time of service. If they go to a non-participating provider, they may be asked to make payment in full at the time of service.
