What Period Law Inc does
Mission
To provide a strategic combination of legal advocacy, social activism, communications expertise and media outreach, and thought leadership to further initiate and advance issues of menstrual access, education, and safety within the meaning of section 501(c)(3).
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
We have worked over the past year to support advocates and organizations seeking to end the sales tax on menstrual products, seeking to have governments provide free menstrual products in schools, prisons and jails, and shelters, and seeking to challenge manufacturers to provider safer menstrual products with accurate ingredient labelling.

The program described on its FY2024 Form 990. Program spending in total: $124,744.
The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2019, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2019, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2023 to 2024, from $34k to $148k (+342%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
100% of PERIOD LAW INC’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (94% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 6 reported years ran a deficit.

100% 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 PERIOD LAW INC.
