Let’s Take Flight: About Our Program Pillars
Our corporate giving partners activate lasting change while connecting their brands to a trusted nonprofit with proven impact. Together, there’s no limit to what we can do to advance pollinator conservation, ecological sustainability, and community resilience. By identifying and investing in shared goals, we can further the innovative programs at the heart of our mission.
Habitat Development
With an emphasis on urban agriculture and industrial landscapes, we create bee habitats that support pollinator populations and help prepare urban spaces for climate readiness. Since 2022, we’ve partnered with the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey to create perennial pollinator gardens on their lands, with a flagship collaboration at Liberty Park at the World Trade Center. Since 2024, we’ve collaborated with resident groups at the New York City Housing Authority’s Farragut and Ingersoll campuses to build thriving pollinator gardens.
Education & Mentoring
In 2024 alone, TBC delivered 50+ free educational events, stewardship days, youth field trips, and more, engaging 4,000+ individuals. Our Bee a Buddy Book Bundles Ecoliteracy Program distributes our original comic to underserved schools and community groups. Our Food Justice, Master Beekeeper, and Native Seed Distribution awards empower individuals whose work advances education, food security, and/or ecological and community resilience with supplies, training, and mentorship.
Community Science
By engaging the public to photograph and upload local insects to the iNaturalist and BeeMachine apps — leveraged by scientists and researchers worldwide — we contribute pivotal data points and support research, all while capturing biodiversity stats in urban and underserved centers. Data collection also helps us develop alternative strategies for honey bee hives in urban food-growing spaces, improving biodiversity and eliminating barriers to access posed by the cost and management needs of beekeeping.
Our Partners
We recognize that no single organization can drive change alone.
The impact we aim to achieve worldwide requires the collective efforts of multiple stakeholders. Here, we highlight a selection of partnerships from our network that have had a significant impact on our programs and the communities we support.
