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
Ben Kilama: Restoring Strength Through Adaptive Sports
Location: UGANDA
When The Pollination Project supported the West Acholi Spinal Injuries Association, a spark of possibility turned into a movement of inclusion. The grant made it possible to repair sports wheelchairs, rehabilitate a basketball court, and launch adaptive sports that have transformed the lives of persons with spinal cord injuries in Northern Uganda. More than 250 people have since gained not only access to sport, but renewed confidence, community connection, and better health.
