We love it when volunteers come to support us with bras, and we love it when those volunteers are British Embassy Washington! Thanks to the British Embassy for stopping by to volunteer and bid farewell to Naomi💗
About us
I Support the Girls collects and distributes donations of new and gently used bras, and individually sealed tampons and maxi pads to women and girls nationally and internationally. Whether they be homeless, refugees, in transitional housing, or fleeing domestic violence, women and girls should never have to compromise on dignity. Women and girls who find themselves homeless shouldn’t have to worry about finding bras, much less proper menstrual products. Yet they wear the same bra for years, potentially causing health problems, and each month have to make a choice between paying for meals or buying a box of tampons. Since its founding, ISTG has collected and distributed over 25,000,000 products to 3 million women through 5,000 vetted partners. ISTG has 50 affiliates across the United States and international affiliates in Canada, Australia, the Philippines, Germany, and Pakistan.

One of the many amazing parts of our nonprofit organization is our Affiliate Network-- generous people who live ordinary lives but are extraordinary people, volunteering their time to work toward our ISTG mission collectively! It is with the help of our Affiliate Network that ISTG has managed to donate out 30,000,000 (that's 30 MILLION!) products! The 30,000,000th product was donated out by our Mississippi Affiliate, and we wanted to give them a proper shout-out 🎉

Why 30% of #Nonprofits Fail and How We #Succeed: 1️⃣ Lack of #Planning: Good intentions need a solid #strategy. 2️⃣ Unrealistic #Goals: Big dreams can overwhelm small teams. 3️⃣ Failure to Stand Out: Many #nonprofits share a similar #mission. What makes yours unique? 4️⃣ Limited Team: One or two people can’t do it all! 5️⃣ #Funding Shortages: Money matters! Despite these challenges, #ISupportTheGirls is turning 9 tomorrow and thriving!🎊🥳 Here's our #success recipe: 1️⃣ Our founder, Dana Marlowe, said "I found people who are smarter than me in lots of business and #NPOs together all day in a mind meld session." With 4 #PilotStudies across the country, a plan was formed. 📝 2️⃣ We aimed to #donate 30 million products by our 10th year. We hit that #milestone a year early! 🎉 3️⃣ Beyond collecting and distributing #bras and #menstrualproducts, we’re active in #menstrualhealth, #periodpoverty, #womenshealth, #womenssports, and all #feminist news. 🗞📢 4️⃣ Our dedicated staff, Affiliates, and amazing volunteers have expanded ISTG not just nationally, but #globally 🌏 5️⃣ From #grants to personal #donations to #fundraisers, we've kept our operations running and donations shipping. But we need YOUR support to keep growing! 👀 We're holding a 9th birthday #fundraiser!!!🎉🎈 And if you donate $99.99 (because, 9!) you can get this totally awesome and ISTG-exclusive bumper (or bicycle. or computer. or fridge. Totally up to you!) sticker. Donate using the link below to join the journey of I Support the Girls🩷 https://lnkd.in/em23F8q2
Happy, happy birthday to me!

It was an honor speaking at AAA’s pride event today about I Support The Girls and the Slash Kit program. This program provides direct relief, comfort, and gender-affirming products to all folx who fall under the non-cisgender identity umbrella. I also got to hear about Free Mom Hugs Inc. and their mission to spread love and kindness 🌈❤️ Learn more about Slash Kits here: https://lnkd.in/etnAexER

#PrideMonth is a perfect time to remind everyone that LGBTQIA+ doesn't always look like how popular media portrays it. In fact, there's a huge relationship between the intersection of LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC identities AND their representation👇 https://lnkd.in/gRSx-3Z2

#WomensSports is getting due credit based on their pure talent and the right audience being hyped-- so what will happen when marketplaces want to give the same amount of time and money to women's sports teams advertising that they currently give to mens? https://lnkd.in/exHy-VNX
