While you see and work with me most often at the Hive, there’s a whole crew of folks working behind the scenes to make sure your fiscally hosted projects have the support they need to thrive. From strengthening the back-end of your work to amplifying your visibility, our team is here to grow this movement for climate justice together.

In upcoming Bee’s Nest Bulletins, I’ll be introducing you to some of these incredible people. First up: Mark Steele, the Hive’s Creative Director. Mark is the creative mind behind all of our digital assets—including the Hive website. He’s the one keeping the Nest page fresh with updated project profiles (hint: more are on the way. Huge thanks to Mark for making sure your work shines online!

Wishing you all steady energy, fresh inspiration, and lots of momentum as your projects ramp up for the fall season. As always, please reach out if you have any questions!

With much gratitude,

— Katie

P.S. Keep an eye out—our Save the Date for the annual Hive Anniversary event is coming your way soon! We can’t wait to celebrate together and hope to see many of you there.

The Ol’ Grants Corner

That section right below this one! Note that I try to keep these fresh each month (with the exception of this one, I am repeating the Boulder County Climate Equity Fund opportunity, since that’s such an important one locally to be spreading the word about!). Please go back to previous Bee’s Nest Bulletins for more grant ideas for your project!

A reminder that the Hive’ hosts the BoCo Climate Justice Event Calendar to keep us informed and connected! If you’re local, please submit your events here! And thanks to my amazing Hive colleague, Anna-Gray Anderson for keeping this active. Coming soon we hope to be able to offer the framework for these event calendars in other communities as part of our Garden + Box programming efforts!

HIVE INSPIRATION

A Little Sunflower Moment

I snapped a photo in front of the sunflowers blooming in my front yard this week, and it felt like the perfect reminder to share a little brightness with you. As we start to shift from summer into fall, I wanted to send a bit of sunshine your way—and to remind you that you brighten my days too.

(Also, hey there Isabel Sanchez, the Sunflower Queen and our fellow Bee’s Nest partner! Check out Roots to Sol for more sunflower inspiration and to learn about Isa and her team’s amazing Community-Led Preparedness Project!)
