Having TPP’s backing elevated my project. I attracted more sponsors. Being a TPP grantee helped me sign up Whole Foods as a sponsor. They provided vegan food for our opening night reception. From there, it just became easier to get more sponsors.

The Pollination Project was the first organization to recognize the potential and validity of my program to take free cartooning lessons to children in hospitals. That seed money helped to motivate and inspire me. When I first began doing these programs, I was...

I can't say enough good things about The Pollination Project. I run a juice stand and serve under-served neighborhoods and people in need. Because of their grant I am actively going out and serving people healthy-vegan drinks and am making a difference in the world....

Back in March I submitted a grant to you for my Try Anything Rhino Project.  I learned last week that I wasn't selected to receive the grant.  I'm writing to tell you that you made the right decision!  I actually don't need the grant! Since I made the submission to...

Your work is so different than any club charity or CSR funding I have come across. They normally have their own agenda of what project to support but your doors are open to anyone with a genuine cause. I am greatly inspired by your goodness and happy to have such an...

Thank you for supporting NUHC to be their own agents of change in their community. Thank you for understanding that progress and development happen when a person— or a group of people—is empowered to identify a need and find efficacious solutions. Thank you for your...

The grant has helped me to believe in myself and the work I am doing to better our community. It has helped to renew faith in people, not only the kind that give daily but the kind that are recipients of that generosity.

In Nepal, it's difficult enough to get projects going (everything takes so long!), and the added pressure of money stress is always a challenge. I feel like TPP has my back, not only financially, but as a group of committed citizens working to change the world. On...

The Pollination Project is the best support of start-up projects I’ve seen in a long time. They were very precise in their directions and rules and they made it easy to apply.

Personally the grant has been great in allowing access to the Pollination Project Community. Because I started the project on my own, winning the grant allowed me to gain momentum and funding that I would otherwise not have access to. The support, money, and...

We have benefited in so many ways beyond the initial grant that we were not expecting.  I think that for many of the men, the grant and the TV spot made them feel seen for the first time in a long time (perhaps for the first time for some). Not seen for the crimes...

With very little business experience as a high school junior, I had minimal knowledge about starting and running a non-profit organization. Receiving the Pollination Project grant first compelled me to research and learn more about the different components of starting...

The Pollination Project Grant legitimized all of the hard work that my two friends and I had poured into our project, and it spurred even more hard work. Because of the grant, we were able  to set up a website and get our message out to an audience we hadn’t...

The Pollination Project was the first funding we received, as a group of five artists trying to start a new and unusual experience for creative people from across the country, and simultaneously introduce arts programming to a small economically struggling community...

The Pollination Project has shown me numerous avenues of providing services to underserved communities. I have been exposed to various organizations and efforts across the globe that empowers people both economically and socially. This exposure has opened the door for...

By the end of the year From the Ground Up will have all 10 live gardens producing free food for those in need.. . . I don't really know if you understand what the Pollination Project has started in my community. Chico is "getting it".

The Nerds for Nature work on the bioblitz project, for which the Pollination Project grant is the only dedicated funding, has inspired other organizations small and large (from the California Academy of Sciences and the City of San Francisco to the Friends of the...

The TPP Seed Grant was the first grant we received, and was the first glimpse we had into believing our dream organization could be a reality. There are so many opportunities to be shut down before you even start a grassroots project. The TPP Seed Grant communicated...

The entire structure of CompassionWorks International and our quest to create a more compassionate world through improving community-based actions for animals was directly inspired by TPP. We are proud to have played a role in the Ringling decision and will keep...

The Pollination Project’s metrics are extraordinary. There is no better place for your money to be invested. Not only does the money you invest have huge impact but you also become part of The pollination project’s vast network. I don’t think there is any other...

The TPP Seed Grant beside actually kick-starting our project financially, has offered us a life's time experience in learning-by-doing in Successful Grant writing. I had never applied for  a grant. My first experience is with TPP Seed Grant and after that I have won...

We were able to create more teddy bears within 6 months than we had in the nearly 2 years before.  Thanks to the Pollination Project, we will be able to provide handmade teddy bears for way more children and teens in hospitals, homeless shelters, and eating disorder...
