Period Okc

What Period Okc does

Period OKC Foundation, doing business as Period OKC, is a 100% volunteer-run, independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 2021 in Oklahoma City. It provides pads, tampons, liners, and menstrual cups at no cost to schools, community organizations, government facilities, and public places that distribute them to people experiencing period poverty across Oklahoma. Its end beneficiaries are vulnerable Oklahomans who cannot afford menstrual supplies, while its institutional partners are schools, social-service organizations, and government facilities.

Its program consists of product distribution, menstrual health education, and advocacy for free menstrual products in public bathrooms. Products move exclusively through partner organizations rather than through direct sales to recipients. Education and advocacy address stigma and seek to broaden access, while the service model directly supplies basic hygiene products.

No proprietary technology platform is reported: Period OKC has no disclosed app, API, SDK, or AI capability. Operations use an Oklahoma-specific community model with monthly packing-party events, volunteers, word-of-mouth, direct outreach, Eventbrite, website and social channels, PayPal donations, and an Amazon wish list. It does not sell products; its resources come from recurring and one-time individual donations, in-kind product donations, and nonprofit grants. Since 2021, it reports 1,300,000+ products distributed.
