Our Philosophy
We recognize the enormous amount of time researchers and nonprofits spend seeking funds and reporting on grants. One Hive Foundation has a streamlined application and reporting process so that experts in the field can spend more time doing the work of our shared missions (and what really matters!).
How we work:
Streamline the paperwork: We use a two-phase proposal process to simplify and streamline the application process. In lieu of arduous grant reporting, we encourage opportunities for real-time dialogue and mutual learning.
Your time is worth it: We provide a stipend to write and submit proposals to the nonprofits invited to submit a full proposal for the Foundation’s review.
Multi-year funding and general operating support: We accept and encourage requests for multi-year funding which provides more sustainable support. We also accept proposals for general operating support, which allows for flexibility for grantees to pursue their work
One Hive will accept requests that align with our Mission, Vision, and Values and one or more of our focus areas.
- Scientific research focused on the threats to native and managed pollinators and efforts to improve pollinator health.
- Public education and advocacy focused on pollinator awareness, food security, water quality, and pesticide use reduction.
- Projects that seek to translate scientific research for the general public understanding (including through independent journalism).
- Initiatives that seek to link scientific research and public policy.
- Projects that replicate successful, collaborative approaches to public education, policy, and advocacy.
- General operating support to build capacity of advocacy or membership organizations related to pollinator health and/or beekeeping.
- Programs to nurture a diverse collaborative, and well-networked next generation of farmers (including beekeepers), scientists, and advocates.
- Projects that examine agricultural impacts to public health (including but not limited to pesticide exposure, disease vectors, nutrition, and ecojustice).
- Projects that partner with businesses to improve pollinator conservation practices across supply chains, facilities, and consumer education.
