At Bee the Future, we’re launching a life-changing nonprofit in Central Texas to empower 30 at-risk youth (ages 16–24,Annually) through beekeeping. Our program teaches job skills, fosters resilience, and produces Texas honey, all while saving pollinators and strengthening our local food system. But we need your help to get this hive humming!

This crowdfunding campaign is the seed to start our mission. Your gift will fund:

• $300 for legal fees to become a 501(c)(3), unlocking major grants.
• $50,000 for our director’s first-year salary to lead training, manage 40 hives, and secure funding—ensuring our youth succeed.
• $10,000–$20,000 for curriculum to equip teens with beekeeping know-how, from hive care to honey sales.

Why now? These startup costs let us focus grants ($250,000 from programs like the Specialty Crop Block Grant) on land, bees, and equipment to build a sustainable apiary. Every dollar you give plants a seed for youth futures, pollinator health, and Texas honey!

How You Help:

• $25: Funds a youth’s training manual.
• $100: Covers a month of curriculum development.
• $500: Supports our director to teach one youth hands-on.
• Any Amount: Joins the swarm to launch Bee the Future!

Perks for donors:

• $25+: Your name on our “Hive Heroes” list.
• $100+: A future honey jar named after you. Honey mailed to your door!
• $500+: A virtual tour of our apiary (when built). Honey mailed to your door!

We’re transparent: our director’s salary ensures this program thrives, and every cent reinvests into our mission. Follow our journey on X (@TheFutureBee) and join us to create a buzz for change!
