What People and Pollinators Action Network does
Mission
Ppan promotes pollinator-friendly land management and landscaping practices through education, engagement, and advocacy to preserve biodiversity and safeguard public health. Ppan is dedicated to creating healthy, sustainable ecosystems where people and pollinators can thrive now and for generations to come.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
Ppan completed the third giving cycle of the protect the pollinators habitat fund, backed by sales of the colorado pollinator license plate, by distributing 56,396 to create native habitat gardens. We collaborated on a june pollinator month proclamation with the governor's office. We have continued to conduct outreach and education about the co native pollinating insects study with state agencies, municipal government, and the public. Ppan supported a policy to reduce the use of non-functional turf and launched a new campaign to reduce the agricultural use of neonicitinoid- treated seed. We worked with the boulder valley school district on a non- toxic school ground policy that will be a model for more school districts. --------------------- continued on schedule o -----------------------

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2019, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2019, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2021 to 2022, from $131k to $209k (+60%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2022 17% · 2023 23% · 2024 16% · 2025 13%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
91% of PEOPLE AND POLLINATORS ACTION NETWORK’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (88% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2019 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 9 funders, grant income rose $26k → $155k.
6 of 17 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 67% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of PEOPLE AND POLLINATORS ACTION NETWORK’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How concentrated its funding is
PEOPLE AND POLLINATORS ACTION NETWORK leans on a few funders — its largest provides 37% of grant income and the top three 61%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
74% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund PEOPLE AND POLLINATORS ACTION NETWORK.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2019 92% · 2020 82% · 2021 80% · 2022 59% · 2023 26% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How long its funders stay
67% of PEOPLE AND POLLINATORS ACTION NETWORK's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 65% give in more than one year at all.
Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
67% of PEOPLE AND POLLINATORS ACTION NETWORK's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $199k that is directly attributable, 93% of it comes from funders outside Colorado, across 9 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $409k arriving through sponsors registered in 3 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
