In starting HCL, there were a lot of naysayers and people who simply did not understand or respect what my ultimate goal was. But through this grant, I found confidence, I regained my perseverance and I was given the ability to raise awareness outside of my comfort...

The energy behind all the grantees at the Pollination Project is amazing. Oftentimes I feel discouraged by the state of the world and the level of apathy I perceive in most people. On those days, I often scroll through the Pollination Project Facebook or Twitter page...

Being the recipient of this grant reaffirmed to me that prison education is not a lost cause. It also showed the inmates that there are people and organizations out there in the real world that support them in their struggle to have an education, and that education is...

This has been the most fun project I have ever done.  I quite literally wake up every day excited to go to work at the Lab. We are constantly seeing new opportunities to get involved with the community and do meaningful work.  I have been in Uganda for almost two...

We were originally nervous to apply, because we did not think we could actually receive the grant. I am so glad that we went for it anyways – receiving the grant allowed us to pursue our goals and inspired confidence in our ability to be successful. You really can...

 Thanks a bunch for your help with VegYouth in our first year. :) I really can't believe how far we've come in just one year. Exactly a year ago, I was the literally the only one working on this and no one really knew about it at all! Now we have dozens of youth and...

The grant from The Pollination Project was the single factor that jumpstarted our organization’s formation. We could not have done this without the assistance from the grant. It’s incredible how far that money can go and how it really can seed the change. It did for...

The Pollination Project is the most wonderful grant application we’ve experienced to date. TPP is focused on one thing: helping to make a difference. The application process, as well as the accountability, is simple, with easy to follow directions.

You can imagine my shock when I discovered I got the grant. Tears rolled down my face and I felt such joy! I wanted to become nonprofit, but needed the money to apply... Every time I go to The Kids’ Reading Room I am reminded that some children don’t have books to...

A grant from the Pollination Project added a layer of national credibility to our body of work. Our service to students requires an incredible amount of trust between Ticket 2 Success, parents and schools; the congratulations we received from becoming a Pollination...

Knowing, through the trust that the Pollination Project has placed in us, that we were, indeed a worthy organization, put a lot of wind in our sails at a time when we might have become becalmed. The obvious financial success of the two fundraising projects that we...

You do not realize how much you have boosted our confidence and raised our optimism.  Flint is historically a very hard place (we are rightly named).  However, deep down there is a soft core of caring, compassionate, and competent people who are willing to work...

The seed money from the Pollination Project was a foundation for our organization getting our City and private donors to support our project. Each time we told an organization, business or individual that our organization had been awarded a $1000 Pollination Project...

By keeping in mind the seed grant we never lost sight of the fact that someone other than ourselves believed in what we were doing, and someone was willing to give us a grant based on their belief in the idea we had.  It was our first grant-our seed and it is growing...

Your support means that the universe is there for each and everyone of us...every teenage girl who thinks she is a piece of garbage, only needs to align herself to the good: The Pollination Project, a trusted mentor, the beauty of nature, the hope of the future...this...

Thank you for all your great hope that you spray everywhere in the world!! This is so amazing what you doing, I have shared with many friends about you and they felt so inspired and excited.

The biggest effect of receiving the grant was that Bikes 4 Orphans gained public awareness. Two local newspapers have interviewed me about Bikes 4 Orphans after finding out that I had received the grant. Because Bikes 4 Orphans is not an official non-profit...

"I just wanted to share my excitement about PP recently! I'm so thankful and appreciative to you all for recognizing the inspiring work people here in Omaha are doing. We're just all very excited around these parts about the gifts that you all have been giving to us...

“While I would like to believe that I could have done this on my own, the truth is that even with all of the hard work, dedication and vision, Child’s Pose Yoga absolutely needed support and seed money to get started. The 1K grant was more than that though; it was the...

The greater value of being named a Pollination Project grantee is the award in and of itself. The fact that one prominent organization believes in my idea enough to put to their name and money towards it’s triumph is understatedly empowering. The media exposure is...

I don’t know how to tell you what a difference it made when we got that grant! It was our first big money and let us know we could continue. Overall, our 3-month, 1300-mile walk cost under $15,000, so your small grant was a major portion of the total. It was important...

The Pollination Project offered a seed grant and the “seed” was most definitely the catalyst that created the success we have experienced. Just like the kids we seek to support with funds from Kids Five & Over, we needed someone to believe in us and in our dream....

Resonate’s project could never have been possible without the early support of individuals and groups like the Pollination Project. The initial funding provided by TPP jumpstarted our fundraising and program efforts, and has made it possible for us to be where we are...
