To empower people with essential hygiene products that promote health and hope.
Simply Hygiene Inc. centers its grantmaking on one repeated activity: free hygiene-product distribution to schools and community organizations in the greater Wichita area. The largest recent grant, $199,033 to Wichita Public Schools - USD 259 in 2025, shows how closely the foundation works with local public schools to move essentials directly to students and families. That same pattern appears across other recipients such as Wichita Schools - USD 259, Haysville Public Schools - USD 261, and Maize Public Schools - USD 266, all funded for distribution to the needy. The foundation’s work is practical and delivery-based, using monthly ordering and distribution through partner schools, nurses, social workers, counselors, and nonprofit organizations. Its stated aim is to empower people with essential hygiene products that promote health and hope. In the recent-grants record, many awards go to organizations serving households in crisis, people experiencing homelessness, and economically vulnerable families, with the grant language consistently tied to basic-needs distribution rather than project-specific programming. That makes the funder easy to recognize: it backs local partners that can place hygiene items directly into the hands of people who need them.
In school-based support, Simply Hygiene Inc. gave $199,033 to Wichita Public Schools - USD 259 for distribution to the needy, and $23,127 to Haysville Public Schools - USD 261 for the same purpose. It also funded Maize Public Schools - USD 266 at $17,828, showing a steady relationship with area districts. For child and family services, the foundation awarded $40,487 to DCF (Department for Children and Families) and $21,099 to Kansas Children's Service, both in Wichita, again tied to distribution to the needy. Community-facing relief organizations also appear in the record: $27,080 went to The Salvation Army in Wichita, while $22,446 supported First Metropolitan Table of Hope. The active program description reinforces that these grants are distributed through partner schools and community organizations in the greater Wichita area.
Typical grant size sits at $7,303 at the 25th percentile, $10,876 at the median, and $15,220 at the 75th percentile. The recent-grants list also shows a much larger outlier on the school side, including a $199,033 award, alongside many smaller routine distributions. Giving appears recurring rather than one-off: Wichita Public Schools - USD 259 appears across 2023, 2024, and 2025, and several other recipients recur in multiple years. Simply Hygiene Inc. operates as a grantmaking foundation rather than a family DAF or an individual-giving vehicle, and it does not make grants to individuals or PRIs. The active program is a monthly ordering and distribution process for partner organizations.
