My name is Maanya, and I am the founder of Love For Red. I took a major leap five years ago as a high school student to establish a 501(c)(3) nonprofit to fight period poverty across Iowa. I am currently a student at University of Iowa. Thanks to supporters like you, we have donated 285,000+ period products to 150+ organizations, including 118 schools. Love For Red also drives long-term, systemic change through ongoing advocacy and awareness campaigns to end menstrual stigma. Your support makes this impact possible.

Your investment helped us achieve something extraordinary. We successfully fulfilled over 40 urgent requests for support that poured in from schools across Iowa in a single day in fall of 2024. You helped us reach every single one of them. Today, the momentum has surged. Just last month, we received 50 new requests in just a few days! This dramatic increase shows the vital and growing trust schools place in us. We've proven we can meet this demand, but only with your continued partnership. Help us turn this surge in need into a historic wave of support for Iowa's students.

Your contribution will directly help us expand to serve these places and provide the resources we need to continue fighting for long-term change.

We are hosting EmpowHer - Fund the Flow to bring our community of supporters together for a fun evening with dinner (South Asian), drinks, dance, music & auction! Feel free to wear anything red and/or South Asian outfit to show support for our cause.

Our event will be Sunday, January 11, 2026 from 5 pm - 7:30 pm. Location will be shared through email along with your ticket.

Event tickets and details can be found above. I hope you and your loved ones will join us!
