Pollinators

In nature, pollinators carry pollen from flower to flower in a fertilization process that is necessary for plants to reproduce seeds, fruits, and other young plants. Similarly, NAVEL Pollinators support our creative ecosystem, fertilizing the seeds planted by artists & cultural workers so that their projects can flourish.

NAVEL Pollinators believe in the power of artists and cultural workers to creatively cultivate change.

The Pollinators provide crucial, ongoing support for NAVEL's community-based programming initiatives including ASSEMBLIES, Circles of Care, Art into Action Festival, and other cultural events, as well as resources for cultural workers to do the work they want to do like space, fiscal sponsorship, office hours, mentorship, and other forms of care.

#RedistributionIsConstant: 25% of funds received from Pollinators will be redistributed to the Make Our Liberation Irresistible Fund, a new mini-fund meant to strengthen ties between artists, cultural workers, and grassroots orgs and collectives in Los Angeles, providing five seed investments of $5,000 in 2022.

All Pollinators, regardless of level, receive the following benefits:

NAVEL is a worker self-directed non-profit organization, Federal Tax ID#82-5235150, and all contributions made are fully tax-deductible, minus value of benefits received.
