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.

Maida Šabeta-Lemajić: Working Towards Universal Protection for Animals
Location: CROATIA
Maida is a longtime animal advocate with a master’s degree in Law from the Sarajevo Law Faculty and the Campaigner and Fundraising Manager for the United Nations Convention on Animal Health and Protection (UNCAHP), a project that aims to make animal protection global by law.
In order to give the UNCAHP the impulse it needs, Maida and the Global Animal Law (GAL) team are strategizing the production of videos in Australia, Switzerland, and Croatia. These videos – with the support of a TPP seed grant – aim to engage a broad audience and establish a network for fundraising efforts.
“It was a celebration within the association team when I received the confirmation email. We are very grateful for the funds and excited because this is the first grant we have received for the project and I firmly believe that global animal protection requires global attention.”
