Partners

We’re on a never-ending quest to reveal the interconnectedness of this world. But we can't do it alone. Pollen depends on partners who understand that every subject, scenario, and person is a multifaceted entity, a Rubik’s Cube of possibility. Our partners share Pollen's vision in building a world of increased understanding and access — a world where up-to-somethingers are empowered and equipped to tackle the world and make change.  
  • Bush Foundation
    Why We Invest In Pollen

    Isolated leaders are a barrier to effective community problem-solving. Our region has a number of leadership hubs and networks that struggle to build and maintain connections among their members. Very little has been done to build connections across these groups. That’s where Pollen can think bigger, think differently, and spark regional transformation.

    Through a balance of immersive in-person experiences, network-building, and story-driven online engagements, Pollen and any of its selected partners will educate, empower, and engage as catalysts for community-building and creative change agents, with the goal of creating personal and professional growth for their members and an improved quality of life for all people living in the region the Bush Foundation serves. —Jennifer Ford Reedy, president of the Bush Foundation

  • Propel Nonprofits
    Pollen's Former Fiscal Sponsor

    Pollen was the first fiscally sponsored organization for Propel Nonprofits (then MAP for Nonprofits). During Pollen’s three years with Propel Nonprofits’ fiscal sponsorship, we worked closely with Jamie Millard to provide operational and administrative support as she expanded Pollen’s reach and filed for Pollen’s 501(c)(3) status. Even though Pollen is now its own 501(c)(3), Propel Nonprofits is still honored to partner with the Pollen team as a guide on the organization’s finances, governance, and strategy. — Danielle Gangelhoff, fiscal sponsorship director at Propel Nonprofits
