Pink Projects

Here at Project Pink Tax we prioritize community engagement as a core part of our mission. Check out some of the initiatives we've launched to interact with our larger community!

DC WISE (Women in Solidarity and Empowerment) (2024)

Earlier this year, we had the honor of meeting with DC WISE to discuss period poverty and the work we’re doing to combat it right here in Washington, D.C. Their team shared the history of their work in fundraising for impactful missions that support at-risk women and children in the DC area.

NCS (National Cathedral School) Prep for Success

(February 2025)

Prep for Success is a program at National Cathedral School in D.C. to teach students the importance of community service. The students were able to see first hand, from graduate Yochi Hobson, the tangible impacts of Project Pink Tax. Students prepared over 100 packages filled with pads, tampons and body wipes each accompanied by a personal message the students wrote.

The Family Place Drop-off + Partnership

(August 2024)

We have partnered with The Family Place, a D.C. non-profit that provides support for low-income families. Their goal is to empower low-income families and foster the optimal development of their children, through educational and support services for all. In August, we conducted our first menstrual product drop-off. We are excited to support them again in the coming months. We will continue to provide them with period products to impact even more lives.

New Partnership + Drop-off with Thrive DC

(May- July 2024)

We’re happy to announce that we’ve partnered with Thrive DC, another local non-profit that combats homelessness in DC by providing 2,000 people yearly with essential services like meals, clothing, hygiene materials, and technology access. In June, we conducted our first menstrual product drop-off of 6,500 menstrual products to Thrive DC. We are excited to support them again in the coming months. Every month, we’ll provide them period products in an effort to impact even more lives.

The NOW (National Organization for Women) conference (Summer 2023)

NOW invited us to participate in their annual 3-day conference. NOW is a multi-issue, multi-strategy organization that takes a holistic approach to women’s rights. We hosted a booth, fundraised, led an interactive session, and spoke with activists who dedicate their time to advocating for women’s rights. It was great to meet so many like-minded activists who regularly dedicate their time to advocating for women’s rights. At our table we sold handmade bracelets and homemade cookies to raise funds to purchase menstrual products for those in need! Through discussions with hundreds of conference attendees and speakers, we were able to have eye opening conversations about the fight against period poverty and how it fits into the ongoing fight for women’s rights.

Think Pink Event with Sio Ceramics

(March 5th & April 9th 2022)

In honor of Women's History Month, we hosted a two-day event with the small business, Sio Ceramics, at the Brookland Arts Walk in Washington, D.C! During this event we educated the community on menstruation through Trivia and held a bake sale to raise funds for period products. The businesses at the Brookland Arts Walk were kind enough to host donation boxes in-store so that their customers could donate menstrual products throughout the duration of the event!

Bake Sale with The Monthly Club SWW

(October 24th 2021)

During our October bake sale at the National Cathedral, we partnered with the Monthly Club SWW, a student-run club at the School Without Walls that hosts period product drives to donate to people in need. Since our initiatives were so similar, we just knew that we had to join forces! Check them out @themonthlyclubsww on Instagram ( a little plug for them)!

The Tanzania Project with Save Kids For Future (NGO)

(September - October 2022)

We partnered with the organization Save Kids For Future to send kits for making reusable pads to Tanzania! Save Kids for Future is a non-profit organization that works to increase education in Tanzania and provide basic needs and life skills to the youth. One of their programs focuses on menstrual education and relief, and a big part of this project is teaching kids and teens how to make reusable pads. In the past, these pads would have been hand sewn, but Save Kids for Future recently raised enough funds to purchase multiple sewing machines! Since a big part of Project Pink Tax’s mission is to support those in need of menstrual supplies, we have pledged to help this organization create over 100 washable/reusable pads. Improving conditions in Tanzanian communities is super important as we make global steps towards menstrual equality, so PPT is happy to support this project.
