Wow, how apropos is the name of this grantor in light of the many photos I take of local “pollinators”?!  Hah!  Yes, I applied today for a grant through The Pollination Project for $1000.00 (but if they want to give me more, that would be great, too).  I just love their mission and the whole “vibe” of their organization; it seems to sync so well with my own way of looking at and interacting with the world.  Part of their home page reads: “…We express this value through compassion. Compassion is an active expression of understanding that as I treat others, I treat myself.  Therefore, we seek to mitigate suffering wherever we are able- including suffering of animals, the planet, our fellow humans and of every inhabitant of Mother Earth…”  How amazing is that?!
