Donate - The Pollination Project

Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.

Every day, grassroots leaders across the globe bring us their dreams of a better world. Your gifts provide seed funding, ongoing capacity-building support, belief, and connection for these visionaries. Moreover, you are expanding a people-first, bottom-up approach to social change that is rooted in authenticity and inclusion.

We will put 100% of your gift to immediate use. Private benefactors pay our operating costs, so all of your donation can go directly to the field. If you would like to talk with us about becoming a donor, or if you have questions about your past gifts, please send an email to [email protected].

The Pollination Project Foundation is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization and your gift is tax-deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law. The Pollination Project Foundation’s tax ID number is 46-0675457.
