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
Kika Jackson –The Garden: Growing Food & Community in West Charlotte
Location: Charlotte, USA
Kika Jackson has spent years showing up for West Charlotte, through wellness programs, nutrition education, and community gatherings that meet neighbors exactly where they are.
A $500 TPP seed grant gave her the resources to transform a community garden in one of Charlotte’s most underserved neighborhoods, into a space where families could grow food, learn about pollinators, and heal together. The garden directly reached 100 people and generated 1,000 volunteer hours and became a classroom, a pantry, and a gathering place. This is the story of what happens when philanthropic trust meets community vision.
