Find the Fireflies
Support Find the Fireflies
The resources stay free. Support helps keep them that way.
Find the Fireflies is built around a simple idea: helping people notice, understand, and care for fireflies is a form of stewardship.
Useful firefly education should be easy to access, easy to share, and available to anyone who wants to learn. Support helps cover the practical costs behind that work and makes it possible to keep creating resources, documenting field observations, building educational artwork, and sharing what we learn with more people.
Ways to Support
There are several ways to help the work grow, and not all of them involve giving money.
Direct Support
Give Directly
If you would like to support the project financially, you can contribute through PayPal or Venmo.
Sponsorship
Sponsor a Specific Need
Individuals, businesses, and organizations can help support specific parts of the work, including printing, educational artwork, field documentation, outreach, and other project needs.
Outreach
Invite Me to Speak
Bringing a firefly program to a library, school, garden club, nature center, homeschool group, or community event helps the project reach more people while creating more opportunities for curiosity, education, and stewardship.
Share
Share the Resources
Sometimes the most useful support is simply helping the right resource reach the right person.
Share Find the Fireflies with families, teachers, homeschool groups, librarians, nature centers, garden clubs, and community organizations.
Coming Later
Future Physical Items
As the project grows, I hope to offer a small selection of physical items connected to Find the Fireflies. Purchases will help support the educational work and provide another way to share the project with others.

Stewardship starts with attention.
Fireflies don’t just light up our yards. They light up our lives and become part of our stories.
Protecting those lights begins with paying attention, sharing what we learn, and practicing good stewardship in the places we already call home.
Whether you support the project by giving, sharing a resource, inviting a program, or simply helping someone notice fireflies again, you are helping make a little more room for the lights.
