Foundation

Serving as the mainspring of our education and community outreach programs, these three core initiatives guide us in all we do.

The core initiatives of the Butterfly Foundation are:

EDUCATION
Provide access to underserved students through field trips with meaningful nature experiences that enhance their academic and imaginative potential through hands-on, experiential learning.

Our Core Program provides scholarship opportunities for low-income, underserved communities, including Arizona’s Title 1 school classrooms, to experience a unique, immersive day of education at Butterfly Wonderland.

If you are associated with a Title 1 school and want more information or to apply for scholarships, click here.

CONSERVATION
Committed to supporting a variety of programs at the local, regional, and global level to educate and inspire others about rainforest life and conservation initiatives.

Our efforts to raise awareness about the rapid decline of the majestic monarch through our “Got Milkweed?” initiative is one of the many ways we seek to advance our mission and shared vision.

CARE
Foster a community of care through outreach programs and opportunities that extend our ability to educate, serve and collaborate.

As the Butterfly Wonderland ’s nonprofit partner, Butterfly Wonderland Foundation relies on contributions from members, community partners and friends to provide exceptional education and conservation programs that inspire change to protect and conserve our rainforest resources.

SUPPORT THE FOUNDATION
Contributions to Butterfly Wonderland Foundation provide vital support to student scholarships, programs and conservation initiatives that help us advance our mission to educate, engage, enrich, and inspire all ages to conserve and protect our planet.

TRIBUTE & MEMORIAL GIFTS
Butterflies are powerful representations of life and many cultures associate the butterfly with our souls. Our Wings of Remembrance provide a wonderful opportunity to honor or remember a special ‘soul’ in your life via a personalized beautiful and colorful butterfly hung in Butterfly Wonderland’s main foyer. Whether someone you know is experiencing a significant struggle or a loved one has passed from this life to the next, butterflies are a symbol of the human spirit to endure and emerge transformed. Donations and purchases made through this program support the Foundation.

FRY’S COMMUNITY REWARDS
Choose Butterfly Wonderland Foundation as your community organization. Every time you use your Fry’s VIP card, a portion of your purchase will go to the Butterfly Wonderland Foundation.

EVENTS
