SCHWAB CHARITABLE
Cultivating Change: Schwab Charitable and Trillion Bees Earth Partner to Protect Pollinators
In the fight to safeguard our environment and ensure the health of our ecosystems, partnerships between innovative organizations are essential. This is why the collaboration between Schwab Charitable, a leading provider of donor-advised funds, and Trillion Bees Earth is such a powerful step forward. Together, they are empowering individuals to make meaningful contributions to pollinator conservation and environmental sustainability.
What Is Schwab Charitable?
Schwab Charitable is one of the nation’s largest providers of donor-advised funds (DAFs), offering a tax-smart, streamlined way for donors to support the causes they care about. A DAF is like a charitable investment account, where individuals can contribute assets, receive an immediate tax deduction, and recommend grants to nonprofit organizations over time.
By simplifying and optimizing the giving process, Schwab Charitable enables donors to amplify their impact while supporting organizations that align with their values.
The Mission of Trillion Bees Earth
Trillion Bees Earth is a nonprofit organization dedicated to restoring and protecting global pollinator populations. Pollinators, like bees, are crucial for maintaining biodiversity, supporting ecosystems, and ensuring the stability of the world’s food supply. Yet, they face threats from habitat loss, pesticides, climate change, and disease.
Through initiatives like habitat restoration, beekeeper support, and community education, Trillion Bees Earth is working to reverse these alarming trends and create a sustainable future where pollinators thrive.
A Partnership Built for Impact
The partnership between Schwab Charitable and Trillion Bees Earth offers a unique opportunity for donors to contribute to a cause that directly impacts the environment, agriculture, and global food security. Here’s how this collaboration is making a difference:
1. Simplifying the Giving Process
Schwab Charitable allows donors to easily recommend grants to Trillion Bees Earth, making it simpler than ever to support pollinator conservation. This streamlined process ensures that donations reach the organization quickly, enabling them to act on urgent conservation needs.
2. Maximizing Contributions
Donor-advised funds managed by Schwab Charitable allow contributions to grow tax-free before being granted to nonprofits. This means that every dollar donated has the potential to make an even greater impact, providing critical resources to initiatives that support pollinators and their habitats.
3. Building Awareness
The partnership helps bring attention to the vital role pollinators play in global ecosystems and the urgent need to protect them. By aligning with a respected organization like Schwab Charitable, Trillion Bees Earth is reaching new audiences who are passionate about making a difference.
4. Supporting Sustainable Solutions
Both Schwab Charitable and Trillion Bees Earth are focused on long-term solutions. While Schwab Charitable helps donors plan for sustained giving, Trillion Bees Earth uses these funds to implement projects that create lasting change, from planting pollinator-friendly gardens to advocating for bee-friendly policies.
Why This Partnership Matters
Pollinators are more than just environmental allies—they are vital to human survival. Bees alone are responsible for pollinating a third of the crops we eat, yet their populations are declining at alarming rates. Protecting pollinators means safeguarding the ecosystems and agricultural systems that sustain us all.
By working together, Schwab Charitable and Trillion Bees Earth are providing donors with a powerful way to address this global crisis. This partnership combines the efficiency and financial expertise of Schwab Charitable with the grassroots action and expertise of Trillion Bees Earth, creating a collaboration that has the potential to drive meaningful, large-scale change.
