Cherry Lane Gramling, Gift Card Change Matters, Atlanta, Georgia

by | Aug 12, 2014 | What Does $1000 Do?

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 invaluable. The exposure to the knowledge and experience of other philanthropic efforts worldwide has an educational and motivational value that can not be bought.

The Pollination Project continues to post offer of informational and how to workshops and the possibilities of more funding to their grantees. The worldwide connection of Pollination Project Grantees is a profound and humbling experience. As a member of this grantee group I witness worldwide goodness and great ideas being pursued by people of all ages in remarkable ways.

It is daily source of inspiration, motivation and encouragement for me personally as I continue to believe and grow Giftcard Change Matters. Through these seeds of success more good will grow. Thank you Pollination Project for 1K and everything else.

🌟 Empowering Through Play! 🌟

Nature Trust (Tamilnadu, India) launched the project, "Enhance the Skills of Children with Disabilities through Play," supported by one of our seed grants 🎉✨ Timed with World Autism Awareness Day 2024, this initiative resonates with the theme of "Empowering the Autistic Voices."

In particular, the grant allowed Nature Trust to provide specially curated play materials to 20 remarkable children with diverse disabilities. These tools were thoughtfully selected to ignite their development and unlock their potential. 🧩🎨

At the distribution event held on March 31st, the atmosphere was filled with joy as children and parents expressed gratitude for the newfound importance of play in their lives. 💖👦👧 The presence of local leaders underscored the significance of inclusive initiatives like this one.

Beyond distribution, Nature Trust volunteers engaged with the children, creating lasting connections and memories. 🤝

Through the power of play, Nature Trust is fostering a more inclusive world where every child has the opportunity to thrive and reach their full potential. 🌈

Let`s continue spreading joy and empowerment through play!

The Green Earth Initiative (#Cameroon) is a project dedicated to educating and empowering students about climate change, sustainable development, and environmental challenges, that has received a seed grant from The Pollination Project in 2023. With a focus on fostering environmental protection and conservation, the initiative establishes Eco-clubs and Environment Clubs in schools, providing students with the tools to learn, engage, and take action in their communities.

Since receiving the grant from TPP, the Green Earth Initiative has expanded its reach, now encompassing 9 additional schools across two regions/cities, surpassing its initial goal of 5.
This expansion was made possible by the overwhelming interest from school authorities and the growing number of volunteers and team members.

Through the support of TPP and other partners, the project`s environmental education programs, awareness campaigns, and initiatives have impacted over 8000 students in two cities of Cameroon. Additionally, the initiative has planted over 600 trees, launched 5 Environment/Eco Clubs, and distributed over 150 adapted waste bins produced from recycled plastics, contributing to proper waste management practices.

The seed grant from The Pollination Project has been instrumental in catalyzing the growth and success of the Green Earth Initiative, enabling it to make a tangible difference in the lives of students and communities, while fostering a culture of environmental stewardship and sustainability.
