Meet the Heart Behind It All
Sanford Research DEI Committee
The Sanford Research DEI Committee is a volunteer committee that aims to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion within Sanford Research.
The Kwek Society
The Kwek Society is a 501(c)(3) public charity focused on ensuring that Indigenous students and community members have the period supplies they need, so they keep their dignity and good health. Currently we collaborate with more than 150 schools, community-based organizations, and Native Nations across North America. We provide puberty education and share traditional, Indigenous teachings about menstruation that center menstruators and “flip the script” on period shame.
Be Prepared. Period.
An online menstrual resource designed to help those from puberty to menopause. With a mission to help the issues surrounding period poverty we are honored to partner with individuals and organizations to raise funds and awareness.

What Are Our Donation Packs?
Be Prepared. Period. is excited to present pre-packaged products in quantities designed to provide one individual with a full month of organic and biodegradable supplies!
Donors are increasingly being more conscientious about wanting to provide eco-friendly and healthy products to donate, but the issue has always been having to choose between helping more individuals with less expensive products or provide better, healthier products to fewer individuals. With our donation kits donors get to do both!
