Philanthropist and fashion editor Mary Alice Stephenson founded Glam4Good[3] as a grassroots movement after leaving an editorial position at 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 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[22] and the Administration for Children's Services in 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 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 and 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 in 2014.[27]
