The bigger picture

Save the Bees™ fundraising goals

These are milestones we’re reaching together, not the price of giving. Every gift, large or small, helps us get there.

Phase 1 Goal
$30,000

Establish the news hub

First semester of three work-study students at the University of Michigan, computer and infrastructure, operational supplies, tape-library storage, and initial Bee-Team outreach to high schools.

Phase 2 Goal
$50,000

Expand the student network

Complete the first full academic year, stand up five university chapters with work-study coordinators, engage more high-school Bee-Teams, and fund field supplies for the growing program.

Phase 3 Goal
$75,000

Reach full-year operations

Full-year hub coverage (overhead, production, and buildout beyond student positions) plus initial satellite-chapter setup and an operational cushion for a sustainable future.
