Planned Giving

Bee the Change is Bee Regenerative and Bee Girl’s planned giving campaign that provides donors with the opportunity to contribute to BGO’s mission during or beyond their lifetime. Donors that wish to contribute to the future bee conservation can make arrangements for planned financial or estate gifts in the present that are distributed at a later date. 

Planned giving is highly beneficial to BGO’s long term bee habitat conservation efforts as the gift is not subject to economic fluctuations. Planned gifts will be undesignated, providing flexibility to be utilized for general programmatic support and operating funds. 

Why support our work with a planned gift?  

  • Your planned gift will provide critical support to BGO’s mission and secure the future of our programs and goals. 

  • You may benefit from immediate or deferred tax advantages for you and your family. 

  • Your gift will create a lasting impact and will “bee the change” you wish to see for the future of our bees!

Bee the Change donors will receive: 

  • Quarterly connections from co-directors (via email, phone, Bonjoro)

  • VIP communication - newsletter, annual reports, annual donor survey, event invitations, etc.  


Bee the Change donors are thoughtful advocates for bee conservation, they’re our bee-ple!  They are loyal conservationists who understand the vital importance of bees to our lands, our food and wine, and our future generations.
