The Pollination Project is a collaborative Foundation that offers seed funding ranging from $1,000 to $10,000. Our network of sixty five grant advisors and five country coordinators, each an expert in their respective fields, leads our funding decisions.

This participatory grantmaking process aligns with our ethos of empowering individuals on the front lines to effect positive change within their communities, cultures, and countries.

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.

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

of the week:

Laicey Gibby-Brown: Final Strike Collaborative

Location: USA

Laicey Gibby-Brown works in theater production on Broadway and – after many years of watching the immense amount of waste left behind after theater productions ended – she decided to create Final Strike Collaborative. This organization aims to rescue discarded theater materials from their landfill fate and turn them into new and amazing creations, giving them a second life.

In 2024, Final Strike Collaborative will organize a series of workshops at their art studio where the community can participate and learn how to reuse everyday materials to create furniture or decorative items. In order to make this happen they reached out to The Pollination Project

“To me, the value that comes with this grant, though, goes deeper than its monetary value. Just knowing that people outside of our organization heard about our efforts and believe in our cause enough to invest in us means everything to me. It’s proof that I’m not alone in my efforts to make positive change, and motivates me to keep striving towards our goals for Final Strike to help the community, and change the entertainment industry for the better.”

As the world gathers at #COP28, the call to address climate change and environmental degradation has never been louder. This event is not just a meeting; it`s a crucial opportunity for decisive action in our fight against these global challenges.

Over the past 11 years, The Pollination Project Foundation has funded nearly 800 grassroots projects focused on environmental conservation and regeneration. These changemakers and their courage and commitment underscore the impact of grassroots initiatives in driving meaningful environmental change. It`s a clear message to global leaders: communities are ready to act; they are ready to protect and regenerate our environment. The question is, are our leaders ready to respond with the same urgency and commitment?

COP28 is not just another conference; it`s a critical moment to transform commitments into action. It`s time for bold decisions that echo the determination of grassroots movements like those supported by The Pollination Project Foundation.

The time for action is now. We urge our leaders at COP28 to take a stand and commit to a sustainable future. It`s now or never.

🧡 HELP US SUPPORT THE CHANGEMAKERS 🧡

In 2020 The Pollination Project Foundation supported “Every Animal”, a vegan animal rights organization in Ukraine founded by Tamara Human focused on vegan education and protecting animals. Tamara’s work centered on trying to change the world for animals by inspiring people to make positive changes in their everyday lives.
.
The impact of this first grant has been very important:
.
✅ 1,612 people registered for the Vegan Express course
✅ 20+ promotional posters in different cities in Ukraine
✅ 2 lectures about veganism
✅ 4 street outreach actions Cube of Truth
✅ A book for children published
✅ received EVA Grant from ProVeg

In 2022, when the war began, Tamara and her team adapted their work to benefit the lives of both animals and humans in a new way. She focused on trying to save lives by feeding hungry people, saving animals and bringing some much needed hope to refugee children in Ukraine. She applied for a new grant and TPP helped her with 3 more emergency grants for a total of $6,000.
.
In the last two years of war, Tamara and her friends were able to:
.
✴️ Open vegan kitchens in 7 cities in Ukraine
✴️ Send 900 parcels with vegan products to vegan soldiers
✴️ Distribute 75,000 free vegan meals - 200 meals a day

And you? Are you ready to create positive change in our world?
