Collects and distributes essential items — bras, underwear, and menstrual hygiene products — through an international network of affiliates to women, girls, and folx experiencing homelessness, poverty, domestic violence, disaster, incarceration, and other forms of distress to restore dignity.
For the Girls Inc centers its grantmaking on dignity and comfort delivered through essential goods. Its largest recent awards support organizations such as Episcopal Church Of All Saints in Indianapolis and Mount Zion District Cogic in Detroit, both funded to provide dignity and comfort to folks in need. That same purpose appears across the foundation’s recent grants, linking shelters, food banks, community centers, and advocacy groups to product distribution rather than cash assistance. The foundation’s work is rooted in direct service: bras, underwear, menstrual hygiene products, and customized A.S.H. Kits move through partner organizations and affiliates to people experiencing homelessness, poverty, domestic violence, disaster, incarceration, and other crises. Its active programs also include request-based product donations and rapid-response disaster relief, showing a funding model built around immediate material support. Recent grants also point to recurring relationships. Action Center in Lakewood, Colorado, appears in multiple years, and organizations in Indiana, Ohio, Maryland, Virginia, and California show up across the grant list. The pattern is consistent with a funder that distributes physical goods through local intermediaries to restore comfort, privacy, and basic dignity.
For the Girls Inc supports several closely related cause areas through product-based grants. In homelessness and emergency relief, it gave $240,000 to Los Angeles Regional Food Bank in Los Angeles for dignity and comfort, and its disaster-relief program is built for rapid product response during crises. Domestic violence and survivor support are embedded in its A.S.H. Kits work, including customized Dash Kits for survivors. The foundation also funds transgender and nonbinary support through Slash Kits and menopausal or low-income support through Flash Kits. Education and youth-facing distribution also appear in the grant list. Fresno State University in Fresno received $208,936 for dignity and comfort to folks in need, while Outlet Youth Services in Rochester received $165,000 in 2025 for the same purpose. The foundation’s international reach includes Pakistan, where its training center teaches women to sew bras, panties, and reusable pads as both product supply and income generation.

Typical grant size sits in a relatively tight band: the p25 is $9,401, the median is $15,856, and the p75 is $27,553. The recent grant list also includes repeated awards to the same recipients across multiple years, including Action Center in 2024 and 2025, Zaindriss Foundation in 2024 and 2025, God's Bounty in 2024 and 2025, and Outlet Youth Services in 2024 and 2025. For the Girls Inc is a regular funder rather than a DAF, makes no program-related investments, and does not fund individuals. Its grantmaking is organized around organizational distribution of goods, with some programs taking unsolicited requests from registered organizations or considering others case-by-case.
Grant recipients are overwhelmingly in the United States, with 100.0% of grants going to US-based recipients. The top state by grant count is Colorado, even though the foundation is headquartered in Wheaton, Maryland.
