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.

Resty Nabaggala: Pad for Her
Location: UGANDA
Born in a rural area facing challenges like poverty and gender-based violence, Resty’s own journey inspired her to establish the Here For Her Foundation. Through initiatives like the Pad Her Project, Resty aims to provide menstrual education, reusable sanitary pads, and training to empower girls and change societal perceptions about menstruation. With the support from The Pollination Project, Resty and her team aspire to make a meaningful impact on the lives of girls in Uganda, fostering a future where every girl has the opportunity to pursue education without barriers.
“It’s rare to find an organization like The Pollination Project which believes in young people and supports the visions of those of us who are trying to make an impact in the community.”
