Period Promise for Organizations
Take the Pledge
It’s about equity. Period.
Join the Alberta Capital Region’s Fight Against Period Poverty
In Alberta, period poverty reflects national challenges, with one in six menstruators and one in four low-income earners struggling to afford essential products. Local efforts, like the Period Promise, are critical to addressing this issue in our communities.
But we can’t do it alone.
By making a Period Promise, you are committed to providing free menstrual products in a dignified way to employees, members, guests, clients, and the public at your organization.

Why Make a Period Promise?
In Edmonton and across Alberta, period poverty remains a significant challenge, preventing many individuals from participating fully in daily life. Financial barriers to accessing menstrual products can lead to missed days at school, work, or important community events. This issue is even more pronounced for low-income Albertans, where as many as one in four face difficulties affording essential menstrual products.
By making a Period Promise, your organization can help eliminate this barrier, promote menstrual equity, and foster an inclusive environment where everyone can manage their health with dignity.
It’s about access. Period.
By taking the pledge, your organization can:
- Strengthen your profile as an active community leader who champions equity
- Contribute to meaningful change and generate tangible solutions
- Help build healthy communities where you live and work
- Increase your customers’ awareness about this issue in our community
In the 2023/2024, together we achieved:
- 10,000+ products distributed to 16 community agencies
- 14 successful product drives across the Capital Region though groups like GenNEXT
- 21 workplaces signed the Period Promise pledge, including 8 new signatories in 2024
