The Pollination Project is awarding grants to changemakers all around the globe. With over 6000+ changemakers over the globe, the scheme has impacted lives across all sectors.
“The Pollination Project exists to uplift grassroots changemakers whose work helps build a kinder, more compassionate world. We don’t have narrowly defined criteria for projects we fund, preferring to be led by our community and applicants like you. So long as your work fits our general guidelines, our team will consider any effort that moves us towards a better world. Funding decisions are made on a rolling basis by 100+ volunteer grant advisors, most of whom have previously received seed funding from The Pollination Project.”
Applications are accepted round the year with no specific deadline. They fund individuals, informally organized groups and organizations, and formally registered or incorporated not for profit organizations based anywhere in the world. As a solution to the numerous applications they receive, they made the application open and accessible to as many as possible eith few guidelines.
The annual budget for your group or organization must be less than $50,000, and the total cost for the project must be less than $10,000. Be reminded that their grantmaking team evaluates grant proposals based on their own experience working in a similar geographic or issue area.
Before a project is accepted and funded, they consider the following:
- Impact of the project itself
- How meaningfully seed funding will move the project forward, and how likely it is that the applicant can bridge any gaps between total funding needed versus what has currently been raised
- The strength of the applicant’s connection to the community they want to serve
- What efforts the applicant has taken to maximize non-financial resources, such as recruiting volunteers or seeking in-kind donations
