Pollinate Group Ltd
About
Pollinate Group Ltd is an Australian charitable organisation that empowers marginalised women as entrepreneurs in India and Nepal. Through a 36-month training program, they recruit and train women micro-entrepreneurs to distribute life-enhancing products such as solar lights, water filters, and sanitary products in underserved communities. The organisation focuses on poverty reduction, gender equality, and climate action by combining entrepreneurship skills with clean energy distribution.
Tips for Applicants
As a direct-implementation organisation rather than a traditional grantmaker, prospective partners should focus on demonstrating alignment with their women empowerment and climate impact model. They seek corporate partnerships and may be receptive to collaborations that support their 2025 target of reaching 5,000 women and 5 million people across India and Nepal.
Giving Philosophy
Pollinate Group uses a high-touch, lasting impact model operating at the intersection of poverty, gender, and climate change. They directly implement their programs through recruiting women from urban slums and rural villages, providing comprehensive training in business, product knowledge, and digital literacy, and supporting long-term entrepreneurial development with ongoing coaching and mentorship.
