Service Network

To ensure that our donated menstrual products create meaningful impact- and to help us uplift your work through stories, data, and shared visibility- please review the following guidelines when receiving products from PERIOD.

1. Use Products for Direct Community Impact

PERIOD. donations may be used for distribution directly to people facing period poverty, inclusion in care kits, mutual aid distributions, or school/community programs, or emergency relief or ongoing service efforts in your community.

Products may not be sold, resold, or used as fundraising incentives. (However, programs may integrate them into free resource drives or educational events.)

2. Share Distribution Details Whenever Possible

To help us understand the reach and effectiveness of your programs, we ask that partners share the approximate number of individuals served, the types and quantities of products distributed and event or program context (e.g., school pantry, campus drive, shelter, clinic, youth group)

This can be done via the Service Partner Impact Form that is sent with your package tracking information.

3. Optional but Appreciated: Photos + Storytelling

We love celebrating your work. When possible (and only with consent), please consider sending photos, videos, quotes, and how these donations supported your community!

No identifying client photos are ever required. We respect privacy, safety, and dignity in all storytelling.

4. Acknowledge PERIOD. in Public Content (When Appropriate)

If your organization posts about this distribution, we kindly ask that you tag or mention PERIOD. on social media (@periodmovement) or website (period.org).
Our ability to continue donating products relies on clear understanding of where products go and who they service. Your reporting (even informal!) helps us advocate for funding, expand distribution, and uplift the incredible work happening in your community.

We distribute products to PERIOD. Chapters, youth-led nonprofits, and occasionally other organizations who have the capacity to make a significant impact on period poverty in their communities.

We don’t ship outside the continental U.S. with few exceptions. The cost of shipping and the carbon load makes it too prohibitive. It is generally more cost-effective and sustainable to buy products locally.
