PollinateTO and Grant Program

Toronto is home to diverse pollinator communities that contribute to ecosystem resiliency and enhances urban biodiversity.

Through PollinateTO funding, recipient groups create pollinator habitats in their communities to increase local pollinator population health and engage and educate Toronto residents about pollinator stewardship. 

PollinateTO was approved by council in 2018 as part of the Pollinator Protection Strategy, which launched the Toronto Biodiversity Strategy in 2019. Every year, 30 to 45 groups are approved for funding and receive up to $5000 per project.
