What Operation Period does
Mission
Operation Period's primary exempt purpose is to advance menstrual freedom by investing in youth organizers and producing cultural and educational media. The organization works to eliminate stigma, expand access, and create systemic change so that periods hold no one back.
As stated on its FY2023 Form 990-EZ.
Programs
The Youth Institute for Menstrual Freedom provides training, mentorship, and funding to young organizers advancing menstrual freedom in their communities. Through a 9-month fellowship, participants learn advocacy, storytelling, and campaign strategy to address systemic barriers to menstrual health. In 2023, the Institute accepted our first cohort of fellows across the United States who implemented local projects, led community events, and produced educational content reaching thousands of menstruators nationwide.

Who funds it, year by year
2020 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 4 funders, grant income rose $3k → $68k.
2 of 6 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 39% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of OPERATION PERIOD’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How concentrated its funding is
OPERATION PERIOD leans on a few funders — its largest provides 38% of grant income and the top three 86%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
39% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund OPERATION PERIOD.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 100% · 2021 61% · 2022 54% · 2023 37% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
Where its funders are
OPERATION PERIOD draws 53% of its grant income from funders outside Oregon, across 4 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $83k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
Against its field
OPERATION PERIOD's funding base is broadening — from 2 funders to 4 as grant income climbed.
