of #changemakers
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
Jacob Webb: Restoring Soil, Strengthening Communities
Location: SRI LANKA
Biochar for Agricultural Resilience in Sri Lanka supports farmers who are working hard to protect their crops in an increasingly unpredictable climate. Thanks to a grant from The Pollination Project, the team delivered hands-on workshops, created engaging learning tools, and travelled to remote farming communities to demonstrate how agricultural waste can be transformed into a powerful soil enhancer. This support helped more than 1,600 farmer leaders reduce drought losses, improve soil fertility, and share their knowledge with thousands of others. The project continues to grow as a community-driven movement grounded in healthier soil, stronger harvests, and practical change that reaches far beyond the workshop field.
