  • The best way to donate to the Biodiversity Initiative is via personal check.  Why? because zero overhead is charged on checks, so 100% of your donation can go towards biodiversity conservation.
    • Please make your check out to *”Polistes Foundation Inc.”, write “Biodiversity Initiative” in the subject line, and mail to:
      • ATTN: Biodiversity Initiative

        133 Washington St.
        Belmont, MA, 02478-0000
  • The second best donate is credit card: these take a pretty sizable cut of your donation, so this is the least preferred method. Click the donate button below and follow the instructions to pay securely with your credit card.
