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.
The impact
of a seed grant
Kathleen Glynn: The Voces del Lago Community Chorus
Location: GUATEMALA
With the support of a grant from The Pollination Project, Voces del Lago has grown from a small local chorus into a powerful force for intercultural connection in Guatemala. Made up primarily of indigenous youth, the group has used music to amplify their voices, travel beyond their rural community, and perform for diverse audiences across the country. This grant has not only expanded their reach but has also deepened their confidence, visibility, and sense of belonging.
