What Project Apis M 20 Inc does
Mission
The Bee & Butterfly Habitat Fund (BBHF) is dedicated to establishing high-quality pollinator habitat to ensure pollinator populations thrive. We work with landowners, conservationists, scientists, and beekeepers to design and build healthy and sustainable pollinator habitat.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
The Bee & Butterfly Habitat Fund staff provided technical guidance on the design, establishment, and management of pollinator habitat to private landowners, public land managers, solar power farm developers, corporations, beekeeping groups, and universities. From July 2023 through June 2024 __ projects and ____ acres were planted through the Seed A Legacy program to high-quality pollinator habitat.The Bee & Butterfly Habitat Fund staff participated in several research projects that are evaluating the BBHF pollinator seed mixes for their value and benefit to pollinator health and populations. Results show that BBHF seed mixes create a greater flower abundance than all other comparable programs and habitats.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2018, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2018, 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 2024 to 2025, from $456k to $834k (+83%).
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.
66% of Project Apis M 20 Inc’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (86% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2020 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 8 funders, grant income rose $122 → $68k.
3 of 11 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 4% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
Left out of every figure on this page: $292k from one payer (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Project Apis M Inc). These are real filings, and they are not money Project Apis M 20 Inc raised.
From the IRS filings of Project Apis M 20 Inc’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 10 of 11 funders by total. 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
Project Apis M 20 Inc leans on a few funders — its largest provides 46% of grant income and the top three 77%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
60% 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 Project Apis M 20 Inc.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 100% · 2021 81% · 2022 47% · 2023 44% — 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
60% of Project Apis M 20 Inc's funders are still giving 1 year after their first grant; 64% 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
Project Apis M 20 Inc draws 100% of its grant income from funders outside North Dakota, across 6 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $11k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 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.
