TELUS Pollinator Fund for Good
TELUS Corporation created the Pollinator Fund for Good to deploy capital from its core telecommunications operations. The vehicle launched with an initial $100M commitment focused on measurable social and environmental outcomes. The fund concentrates on seed and early-stage rounds in climate technology, sustainable agriculture, digital health and environmental services. It participates through direct co-investments and limited partner commitments. Confirmed holdings include Dryad Networks in Germany, erthos and Nectar in Canada, Goodr in the United States, and Naluri in Malaysia. Geographic reach covers Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, Malaysia and South Africa. Two professionals manage the portfolio. TELUS Corporation supplies the capital base and maintains related vehicles including TELUS Global Ventures and TELUS Ventures. The TELUS Friendly Future Foundation, established in 2018, handles separate philanthropic giving in health and education for Canadian youth. The fund sits inside a corporate structure that ties investment decisions to TELUS Corporation's operating business. This creates a direct link between the parent company's balance sheet and the fund's deployment activity.
