Foundation Grants for Hygiene Access
We understand how challenging it can be to research and secure funding for your programs. That’s why we’ve created a living blog post that we’ll update regularly with foundation grants your organization may be eligible to apply for! As Members, we want to support your success in securing additional funding and hygiene supplies to provide essential care to people in need.
Please note that Simply the Basics is not affiliated with any of these foundations—we’re simply doing the research so you don’t have to. Explore this resource and find new opportunities to strengthen your programs! Be sure to check each funder’s eligibility, as deadlines may pass, or they may be limited to certain service areas.
