You see it happening—fewer bees in the garden, fewer butterflies on your hikes. The pollinators—as well as birds, bats, frogs, and other wildlife whom we love—are disappearing, and there is no mystery as to why. The indiscriminant overuse of pesticides, habitat loss, and food systems that reduce rather than augment biodiversity are all partly to blame. 

 

The good news is: these are all threats that you can—and are—tackling head-on at the state and local levels. Colorado is becoming a haven for pollinators and the ecosystems they support, thanks to you getting involved, whether that's in the garden, at the hive, at your local park or schoolyard, with your City Council, or at the state Capitol—and PPAN is with you every step of the way. 

 

We have seen from a decade+ of successes in Colorado that small changes add up to improvements in local and state policies, creating critical changes that restore ecosystems and safeguard human health. 

This Colorado Gives Day, please help us raise $50,000 to invest in PPAN's work to reduce pesticide use and protect both people & pollinators!  

We also hope to find 10+ new monthly donors this month! Colorado Gives Foundation will match the first $100 of any new monthly gift you set up during this time, as part of a $250K matching pool across all participating nonprofits.

That means a new monthly gift made today will be tripled, matched both by Colorado Gives Foundation and by generous donors to PPAN who have offered up at new $15k match for all gifts! 🐝
