            Hi Vladimir,

            For many of us, monarch butterflies are stitched into our life-long memories. Floating just out of reach through our back yards, summer fields, and forests, they whispered a story of remarkable migrations, family picnics, school plays, and field trips–a time where landscapes were healthy and lands were working. They were stories of hope. 

            Today, monarchs are sounding an alarm. A gift today is a response to that message.

            Why Monarchs Matter—Beyond the Garden

            Their sharp decline isn’t just about one butterfly. Monarchs are sentinels for all pollinators. What happens to monarchs is happening to native bees, moths, birds, and countless other species who are architects of our food supplies and quietly hold ecosystems together. 

            Monarchs pollinate native wildflowers, maintaining plant diversity that fuels healthy ecosystems: especially nectar-producing plants such as milkweeds, goldenrods, and coneflowers – flowers that other pollinating native bees, insects, birds and bats need to survive. 



            Losing them is impacting our planet. These insects are pollinators of resilient landscapes that support clean air, water, and climate stability—and they are in severe decline.



            Monarchs matter because systems are unraveling. 

            The Opportunity in Front of Us

            Across the country, people are ready to help. Interest in native gardening and pollinator-friendly landscapes has never been higher—but many communities lack the resources to turn intention into habitat. That’s where you come in. We partner with urban and rural communities to establish native gardens througout the U.S. We just need to secure the funding.

            We've previously funded projects in NJ, FL, NM, WA - 26 US states total, and hope to fund up to 20 planting sites in urban and rural communities. Will your location be next?

            A donation today to the Pollinator Protectors Fund will help communities install and restore native plant habitat where it’s needed most.  

            Just $20 starts a site off with the purchase of 4 native plants. $500 can fund an entire garden, including necessities like native plants and seeds, compost, & soil amendments, and $1,000 funds all of this plus signage and community education tied directly to plantings at each pollinator garden. 

            Why Give Now? Because what we plant—and don’t plant—this spring will shape pollinator survival for years to come. So your support is very important and timely. Please help monarchs—and all pollinators—find their way home.  

            Thank you for your support for these amazing pollinators. 

            And remember, together we are stronger!
