Pollen Midwest is a Minneapolis-based media arts organization that uses storytelling to foster empathy, bridge differences, and encourage meaningful action. Its work blends ongoing storytelling on its website and at events with a social enterprise, Pollen Studio, which brings narrative expertise to mission-driven organizations seeking fresh, engaging ways to tell their stories.

The group positions itself within civic and social impact work, emphasizing equity, empathy, and shared humanity. Leadership is described as diverse and inclusive of Black, Indigenous, People of Color, women, and transgender or gender-nonconforming individuals, with connections across civic, creative, and policy circles. A notable recent development in its civic engagement efforts is a 2021 collaboration with Sahan Journal and Pillsbury United Communities to produce a Minneapolis voter guide.
