We know our community relies on Pollen for connection and storytelling, especially when our flawed and beautiful humanity is threatened.
And because of your faith in us, we’ve never been more clear about Pollen’s future.
With our expertise in design, narrative, and convening, we’ll continue to showcase and support local BIPOC, womxn, trans, and gender nonconforming leaders who are dismantling the status quo and devising new tools to build what we know must come next: a just, equitable, inclusive society that centers community.
Thanks to the generosity of a small but mighty cohort of Pollen's most steadfast supporters, all donations received during #GiveAtHomeMN will be matched dollar-for-dollar up to $5,000.
Every dollar you invest in Pollen during #GiveAtHomeMN directly funds more stories, connects more people, and commissions the work of more writers, artists, and community leaders. They believe as you do:
Deep empathy and connection across difference unlock our limitless potential to build anew.
A donation of $35 or more makes this work possible. By donating to Pollen, you’re joining a collective of nearly 500 donors who value equity, empathy, and our shared humanity, who believe in the power of design, art, and words to heal our collective soul, and who need connection with others to feel grounded, less alone, and hopeful for the future.
With your support, we’ll keep the art, stories, and connection flowing. We'll keep investing in the ideas and stories of BIPOC, women, trans, and gender nonconforming leaders. And we'll always keep learning, adapting, and growing alongside you.
We need you right now and we hope you need us.
