Inspiring Connections and Conversations: This Week In Daily Giving

Connecting people through conversations and resources serves as the catalyst to social change. The Pollination Project gives $1000 seed grants to grantees making a difference in the way that we talk about and address social matters, as well as how we allocate resources to the communities that need them most. We are proud to support grantees who drive change through truth-telling stories among African American women, embrace the beauty of the body and aging, connect individuals to crisis responders, and those who provide resources such as income-producing activities, meals, and tools to gauge activism.
