Seeding a community
of #changemakers

We use the money we raise to invest in grassroots projects by people who seek to create a more compassionate world. Every day of the year, our network selects a new project that will receive $1,000 in seed funding. As that project blossoms, leaders can access capacity-building support, encouragement, and connectivity with others. Through these efforts, we seed a vibrant community of global changemakers who seek to spread compassion in the world for the benefit of all.

At TPP, we believe in people, so we invest in people.

Olatunji Ayodele Rebecca: I Can Sign Project



Location: Nigeria

A project to bridge the communication gaps between the Deaf and Hearing community in the Surulere area of Lagos state.

Through the I Can Sign (ICS) project Rebecca intends to reduce the neglect and abuse of deaf children by training parents to communicate in sign language and to create a better quality of life for deaf human beings.

“As a changemaker, the road gets lonely. The Pollination Project gave me hope to aim for the stars and go global,” Rebecca said. “It was just the dream of one girl in Africa; I didn’t think it would happen. I’m so grateful that an international organization believed in what we are doing here in Nigeria.”
