People & Pollinators Action Network

Thanks to this incredible community, we surpassed our $60,000 *stretch* goal for Colorado Gives Day 2025! We're now entering 2026 in a strong position to revolutionize pollinator-friendly landscaping policies, take on pesticide industry misconduct, and plant, plant, plant for pollinators statewide.

We need to raise $75,000 in 2026 from individual donors like YOU, and our goal is to spread this out over the year so that Colorado Gives season is less burdensome for all.

Your gift today, of any amount, makes a huge impact for the littlest creatures 🐝🦋🐞

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've 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 over 60 habitat garden grants and built strong coalitions, including the Colorado Pollinator Network, the Colorado Environmental Health Coalition, and the Colorado Native Landscaping Coalition. 

But the threats are growing.

Pesticides, habitat loss, and climate change are pushing native bees🐝, butterflies🦋, birds🐦 , and other wildlife🐞towards extinction—and putting our health, ecosystems, and food supply at risk.

And yet, there is ample evidence that pollinator populations rebound as soon as we stop poisoning them and plant the habitat that they need to support the rest of the food web. The actions that help pollinators the most, happen at the local and state levels, which is exactly where we focus our efforts.  

Whether it’s in the state legislature, in public schools, or in backyards across our state, your interventions make a huge difference. Together we can protect pollinators, human health, and the future of our communities.

PPAN is a lean and local Colorado nonprofit. We stretch every dollar of our $365,000 annual budget to create real change—from banning harmful pesticides, to restoring habitat, to transforming parks and schoolyards into safe havens for pollinators, pets, and people.

Less then 1% of the money raised during Colorado Gives Day goes directly to reduce pesticide use in our communities and protect pollinators. There is no gift amount that is insignificant in this fight, because it's not just our money, but our passion for pollinators that fuels this work. 

THANK YOU FOR BEING A PART OF IT!

Your gift—$10, $25, $50, or whatever you can give—directly supports the survival of Colorado’s pollinators.
