Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

Pollinator Partnership (P2) is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization- the largest organization in the world dedicated exclusively to promote the health of pollinators, critical to food and ecosystems, through conservation, education, and research.

Activities or mission (Part I)

Pollinator Partnership protects and promotes the health of pollinating animals vital to our ecosystems and agriculture. Signature initiatives include the North American Pollinator Protection Campaign, National Pollinator Week, and Ecoregional Planting Guides.

  • Agriculture:Pollinator Partnership hosts a number of programs to support pollinators inagricultural landscapes. Bee Friendly Farming (BFF) is a certificationprogram from Pollinator Partnership working with farmers to help protect,preserve and promote pollinator health. BFF provides guidelines forfarmers and growers to promote pollinator health on their lands. Theprogram is also overseen by a task force of experts from the NorthAmerican Pollinator Protection Campaign (NAPPC) including scientists andfarmers, as it strives to set standards for sustainable farming on importantconcepts like planting pollinator food resources, providing nesting habitat,and incorporating an integrated pest management strategy. BFF helpsensure the future of both pollinators and sustainable agriculture as itexpands across North America and around the globe. The California AgLand Network for Pollinators (CAN for Pollinators) program supportsproducers who are enthusiastic about increasing pollinator habitat andreceiving financial and technical support for implementing on-farm practicesthat support pollinators in California. Through a USDA NRCS RegionalConservation Partnership Program, CAN for Pollinators is offering contractsto distribute over $1,000,000 to Californias farmers and ranchers to helpthem build habitat on their property. Lastly, the Enhanced Farmland forPollinators, Crops, and Soil program, funded through the CaliforniaDepartment of Food and Agriculture Pollinator Habitat Program, supportsprojects that will be designed so that regionally appropriate species arechosen to support pollinators and soils. Priority will be given to plantspecies that have high establishment rates, low cost, drought tolerance,low maintenance, and soil health benefits. Pollinator Partnership, CAFF,WFA are excited to offer webinars and onsite trainings, and can offersupport in IPM implementation and monitoring.

  • Monarchs:Pollinator Partnership (P2) program called Monarch Wings Across America (MWAA) launched in response to the Presidential directive on supporting the monarch migration. As many people know, the monarch migration is in peril. The number of monarchs making the annual migration has plummeted in recent years, but P2 has stepped forward in to make a difference. MWAA is focused in states in the West and Midwest/ Great Lakes regions and has resulted in over 150,000 acres of enhanced habitat. P2 has created various planting guidelines for the public and trainings for land managers.

  • North American Pollinator Protection Campaign:The North American Pollinator Protection Campaign (NAPPC) is a growing, collaborative body of more than 170 diverse partners, including respected scientists, researchers, conservationists, government officials and dedicated volunteers. NAPPC is succeeding with major programs to protect pollinators, to raise pollinator-related issues, and to benefit the health of all species particularly those most threatened. NAPPC's mission is to encourage the health of resident and migratory pollinating animals in North America. NAPPC partners gather from throughout the North American continent and beyond to raise public awareness and education and promote constructive dialogue about pollinators importance to agriculture, ecosystem health, and food supplies.

  • Other programs.

  • Pollinator Education:Pollinator Partnerships Pollinator Stewardship Certification (PSC) programprovides home gardeners, land managers, farmers, government, andcommunity scientists with the scientific know-how to make a real differencefor pollinators, people, and the planet. The training features expert topicspeakers, the latest pollinator research, and provides participants with theinformation needed to become powerful pollinator protectors. The SchoolGarden Kit (SGKs) program aims to support teachers, administrators,guardians, youth groups, after school programs, amongst others, in guidingstudents through a discovery process that will increase studentsunderstanding in science, math, and language arts by connecting them toplants, pollinators, food, and gardens by (potentially) creating habitat forpollinators. We say potentially because building a school habitat gardenrequires a real commitment. Planting the garden habitat is relatively easy,but making it grow, thrive, and survive several seasons is a commitmentand a challenge. The School Garden Kit helps expose students to newideas about food, wildlife, and plants. It should also help students choosebehaviors that support their own health, the health of the planet, and all itsplants and animals.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
