People & Pollinators Action Network

People and Pollinators Action Network (PPAN) has been standing up to 
powerful interests to protect pollinators and the health of Colorado communities for over a decade now.

Together we’ve made real progress, thank you! 

We helped pass pesticide reforms, 
protected native species, launched Colorado’s first pollinator highway, and shifted schools and parks to organic land care. We've awarded dozens of habitat grants and built strong partnerships.

But the threats are growing. Climate change and toxic pesticides are pushing native bees🐝, butterflies🦋, birds🐦 , and other wildlife🐞towards extinction —and putting our health, ecosystems, and food supply at risk.

With your support, PPAN and our partners can continue to take action today. 

Whether it’s in the legislature, in schools, or in backyards across the state, your support helps protect pollinators, children’s health, and the future of our communities.

Pollinators Are in Crisis And We Must Power Up To Protect Them

You’ve likely seen the signs—fewer bees in your garden, fewer butterflies on your walks. As pollinators disappear, so does the foundation of our ecosystems, our food supply, and our future. And yet, nationwide giving to nonprofits is down, and vanishing federal funding is leaving dangerous gaps. Here at PPAN, we’re feeling the strain—fewer donations and smaller gifts this year are putting vital pollinator protection efforts at risk.

However, we can close these gaps—together!

You amazing Pollinator Protectors raised over $10,000 in June for Colorado Pollinator Month—THANK YOU!

We're now shifting to our end of year goal for grassroots giving: $75,000 — that's about 1/10th of 1% of the total amount raised last year for Colorado Gives Day. 

Will you be a Pollinator Protector and help us reach that goal today?
 

We stretch every dollar of our $315,000 annual budget to create real change—from banning harmful pesticides, to restoring habitat, to transforming parks and schoolyards into safe havens for pollinators.

Your gift—$10, $25, or whatever you can give—directly supports the survival of Colorado’s pollinators.

🌼 Donate now to protect the species that make our food and wildflowers possible.
🐝 Bee one of the many who stand up for pollinators, birds, bats, and other critters when they need it most.
🌎 Safeguard Colorado's biodiversity and secure our shared future.

Thank you for being part of this hive.
The fight for pollinators is urgent, and we can’t do it without you.
