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
Rizelle Guntalilib: The Art Workshop with Therapy for Marginalized Voices
Location: PHILIPPINES
With support from The Pollination Project, a small community initiative in Nueva Vizcaya transformed into a vibrant source of healing for children and youth facing emotional and social challenges. The grant made it possible to provide art materials, snacks, and safe, creative spaces where participants could express their feelings freely and learn to navigate their inner worlds with confidence. What began as a simple idea grew into a meaningful movement for mental health awareness, fueled by local volunteers and strengthened by the belief that compassionate creativity can change lives.
