Spring Giving! Menstrual Market Fundraiser

When most people think about “basic needs,” they think about food, shelter, and clothing. At Menstrual Market, we know that period, pregnancy, postpartum care and edcuation are basic needs too.

From menarche (your first period) to postpartum and beyond, too many preteens, teens, and women are navigating pain, heavy bleeding, mood changes, fertility challenges, and birth trauma without the education, supplies, or support they deserve.

That’s where Menstrual Market comes in.

We provide holistic, body-positive reproductive health education and training from menarche to menopause through events, direct service, and the arts. Our programs center around community education around menstrual and maternal health conditions like endometriosis, PCOS, fibroids, pelvic inflammatory disease, and more - conditions that are often overlooked, misdiagnosed, or dismissed. 

This Giving Tuesday, we’re raising $5,000 in 24 hours to:

• Launch Menarche to Menopause (M2M) Doula Training, our initiative to equip doulas and wellness workers with tools to support menstrual and maternal health across the full reproductive journey.

• Fund our 50 Shades of RED storytelling project – an immersive series that uses art, podcasting, and spoken word to amplify real reproductive health stories from menarche to menopause.

• Support The Postpartum Period Program, which provides diapers, wipes, pads, tampons, and hygiene products to new families in partnership with community organizations.

• Grow The Menarche Project, a bi-monthly workshop that helps young people and their caregivers talk openly about first periods, build period kits, and create positive body literacy.

• $15 helps build a mini period kit for a student or teen.

• $25 helps support a postpartum family for one month with period and diaper supplies.

• $50 supports materials for a Menarche or 50 Shades of RED workshop (art supplies, handouts, snacks).

• $100 helps sponsor a storytelling participant, including recording, supplies, and follow-up resources.

• $250 supports curriculum and training development for our Menstrual Doula and educational programs.

• $500+ helps us sustain The WOMB Center & Menstrual Market programming as a safe hub for education, storytelling, and resource distribution.

Every dollar moves us closer to a world where periods are not a source of shame, silence, or suffering, especially for communities who have been historically ignored.
