The Pollination Project Foundation empowers passionate volunteers across the globe by providing the critical funding they need to uplift their communities, cultures and countries. Recognizing the untapped potential of frontline changemakers, we bridge the gap in resources with grants up to $500. These small yet powerful investments have shown us that even modest support can ignite significant impact. Our dedicated team of 75 grant advisors and 5 country coordinators, all experts in their fields, guide our funding decisions to ensure every dollar fuels meaningful change.
Beyond financial support, The Pollination Project Foundation assists grantees in taking their initial steps towards fundraising and offers first belief in their mission. Additionally, we offer capacity-building workshops, mindfulness retreats to prevent burnout, and resource navigation to ensure that our grantees’ work achieves tangible goals. For farm animal advocates, we are able to offer large initial capital and follow on funding of up to $10,000.
At TPP, we believe in people, so we invest in people.
The impact
of a seed grant
Sandra Tusiime: The Outdoor Gardens Project
Location: UGANDA
Change often begins with a simple idea and the courage to act on it. With support from The Pollination Project, The Outdoor Gardens Project has empowered more than 200 people in Uganda to grow their own food and care for the environment. Through community gardens, participants gained practical skills in sustainable agriculture, improved nutrition, and built stronger local connections. The project’s success has inspired other schools and youth groups to start similar initiatives, planting the seeds for lasting food security and community resilience.
