In summer 2021, AIP student Gretchen Strate was awarded a grant from The Pollination Project (TPP), a non-profit organization that funds projects to create compassionate change in the world. Strate joins a community of 4,000 grassroots changemakers in over 166 countries who will use the funds to work for a kinder, more compassionate and just world. Strate will use TPP grant funds to purchase equipment for a new, all volunteer service team that she helped start and is currently coordinating.
