**Glam4Good** (styled GLAM4GOOD) is a New York-based nonprofit foundation that distributes unused clothing, personal care items and other necessities to families in need and provides grants empowering female social entrepreneurs.[2]

Philanthropist and fashion editor Mary Alice Stephenson founded Glam4Good[3] as a grassroots movement after leaving an editorial position at *[Harper's Bazaar](/source/Harper's_Bazaar)* in 2012.[4] In 2013,[5] the organization was established as a 501(c)(3)[6][7] nonprofit.[8]

As of August 2024, it had distributed more than $75 million in new clothing and personal-care items[9] to more than 170,000 recipients in 32 U.S. states[10] in a variety of circumstances of need, such as cancer survivors, abuse victims, foster children,[11] veterans in need of aid,[12] and survivors of disasters such as hurricanes[13] and wildfires.[14][15] For example, donating $4.6 million worth of goods at a pop-up event benefiting victims of [Los Angeles](/source/Los_Angeles) wildfires in March 2025.[14] Glam4Good diverts these surplus items from the fashion and beauty industries so that they do not become waste.[6]

The foundation distributes the items through direct shipments and pop-up events, and partners with fashion and personal-care brands[16][17][18][19][20][21] and with organizations and agencies such as the [Council of Fashion Designers of America](/source/Council_of_Fashion_Designers_of_America)[22] and the [Administration for Children's Services](/source/Administration_for_Children's_Services) in [New York City](/source/New_York_City).[23] It sponsors social welfare events such as the MIT Sloan Club of New York's 2025 Social Good Prize.[24] Glam4Good partnered with [Ulta Beauty](/source/Ulta_Beauty) in 2024 on a kit of products from BIPOC-founded companies.[25] In 2025, the nonprofit awarded Social Good Grants to startups involved in charitable giving and healthcare equity.[9] In 2025, Stephenson was named to Fast Company's Impact Council.[10]

Glam4Good has also collaborated with celebrities like [Oprah Winfrey](/source/Oprah_Winfrey) and [Michelle Obama](/source/Michelle_Obama).[3] It worked with Obama in 2015 to donate essentials like strollers and diaper bags as well as beauty products to military mothers-to-be,[26] and Stephenson collaborated with Obama on a fashion entrepreneurship workshop at the [White House](/source/White_House) in 2014.[27]
