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
Liz Wheeler:What The Flock Fridays
Location: Ontario, CANADA
Liz Wheeler didn’t set out to go viral. She set out to tell the truth about chickens. With a seed grant from The Pollination Project, her 13-week What The Flock Fridays campaign reached thousands of Canadians, challenged industrial farming myths, and moved nearly half of its participants to reduce their consumption of chicken and eggs.
This is what grassroots philanthropy looks like when it meets a fearless storyteller.
