Ways to support
Support the Bees by helping out our team! As a part of our directive missive within the College of the Melissae program, each one of our students and faculty are heavily volunteering their time and energy in the world to support pollinators. We are doing this to make a difference for our pollinators and in service to all of Our futures. Your donations, time and shared resources are all very much appreciated to support our amazing Hive Body of Inspired Activists and Leaders.
There are many ways to support our Mission...
Donations accepted!
Developing an educational program takes a lot of work, especially when the program is brand-new! We are up for the task but are in need of support to keep the program affordable.
At this time, the entire faculty is volunteer and frequently put their own money into projects and travel they do on behalf of the College.
Although we are structuring our work with hopes of monetizing certain elements in the future, we would appreciate donations to support the program and faculty expenses.
Importantly. your donations will offset tuition fees for students, which will ensure a variety of qualified and dedicated students can join our program.
Please make a note of where you would like your funds to go when you make your donation.
Thank You!!!
