The Pollination Project seeks to unleash goodness and uplift volunteers all over the world. To that end, each year through our pioneering Daily Grant program, we make 365 microgrants of up to $500 each.
These grants are designed to kickstart a volunteer’s or grassroots organization’s work and give them the lift their project needs to thrive and grow.
Their daily grantmaking began on January 1, 2013 and since then, they have funded a different project every single day. All qualified applicants in any funding area are considered within the guidelines of this program.
