Saalt Foundation
Our north star is a world where no one misses school, work, or dignity because of their period — by 2035. We get there with reusable period care, education, and clean water.
100% of donations go to programs and products. Our founding partner, Saalt, pays for all administrative expenses. How that works
Together with Saalt, since 2018

Why we exist
500 million
women and girls worldwide lack access to adequate period care every month.
Our work
Menstrual cups, discs, and period underwear go to women and girls experiencing period poverty, distributed through vetted nonprofit and community partners. Reusables are the sustainable answer: one product lasts for years and ends the recurring cost of disposables.
100%
to programs and products
Our founding partner, Saalt, pays for all administrative expenses — staffing, operations, overhead, everything. That means 100% of public donations fund period care products, education, clean water, and scholarships for women and girls.
Saalt Foundation is an independent 501(c)(3) public charity governed by its own board of directors.
Partners
Products and grants reach women and girls through vetted nonprofit partners on the ground.
