We Are All Connected: Give to the Max 2026

WE ARE ALL CONNECTED

Connection can begin with something as small as a student leaning closer to watch a bumblebee move across a flower.

One observation becomes a question. A question becomes understanding. Understanding becomes care—and care can grow into a lifetime of stewardship.

Pollinators connect flowers to food, native plants to clean water, students to science, and communities to the landscapes that sustain us.

POLLINATORS CONNECT ALL OF US

The food on our tables, the flowers in our neighborhoods, and the landscapes we call home are all part of one living system.

Pollinators are essential to that system, but habitat loss, pesticide exposure, and fragmented landscapes threaten the places they need to survive.

Pollinator Friendly Alliance brings people together to protect those connections. We work alongside volunteers, students, landowners, scientists, businesses, public agencies, and conservation partners to turn concern into meaningful action.

Together, PFA and its community have:

• Contributed more than 20,000 volunteer hours to conservation.

• Helped more than 50 communities adopt pollinator protections and reduce pesticide use.

• Restored and stewarded biodiverse habitat across Minnesota.

• Connected more than 5,000 people with ecological land-stewardship education.

• Directed more than 85% of donations to conservation programs and projects.

WHAT YOUR GIFT MAKES POSSIBLE

This Give to the Max season, PFA is raising $20,000 to connect more Minnesota students and communities with pollinator habitat, science, and meaningful action.

Your gift will help:

• Connect students with hands-on pollinator science and outdoor learning.

• Expand community science and public education.

• Restore and steward native pollinator habitat.

• Bring volunteers and communities together through conservation projects.

• Strengthen partnerships among schools, scientists, landowners, businesses, and public agencies.

• Give people practical ways to protect pollinators where they live.

Every gift creates another connection:

$10 — Join the connection and support pollinator action.

$25 — Help connect a student with hands-on pollinator science.

$50 — Grow community science and pollinator education.

$100 — Support native habitat restoration and stewardship.

$250 — Help bring schools, scientists, and communities together.

ONE LANDSCAPE. MANY LIVES. ONE SHARED FUTURE.

Protecting pollinators is not only about protecting insects. It is about protecting food, water, biodiversity, healthy communities, and the future we share.

A single gift may feel small, but living systems are built through thousands of tiny connections. Every person who gives, volunteers, learns, plants, shares, or speaks up makes that network stronger.

It only takes $10 to become part of the connection.

Help us raise $20,000 and build a Minnesota where pollinators—and people—can thrive together.

We are all connected.
