You Can Make a Difference for the Little Creatures that Run the World

This Earth Month, show your love for bugs by starting a fundraiser for Xerces and helping protect the invertebrates that keep our planet thriving. From pollinating the foods we eat to enriching healthy ecosystems, butterflies, bumble bees, fireflies, and other invertebrates help make the Earth go round.

Whether you have a birthday coming up, are getting married, celebrating Earth Month with your community, or working on a special class project, your fundraiser can inspire others and raise vital funds for conservation.

It only takes a few minutes to set up your page and share it with friends and family. Every fundraiser, big or small, helps create a world where invertebrates can thrive, and where our planet is healthier for all.

Have questions or want to brainstorm Earth Month fundraising ideas? We’d love to help. Reach out anytime at engagement@xerces.org.

As a way to say thank you for raising awareness, fundraisers can earn a prize for raising $200 USD and above. 

Prize options may include a unique Xerces hat, tote bag, yard sign or book (shipped to valid U.S. addresses only).
