Giving the Basics is a small nonprofit organization based in Kansas City, Missouri, focused on distributing essential hygiene items to people in need across the United States. The organization notes that government assistance does not cover personal hygiene products, so it provides items such as soap, shampoo, deodorant, toothpaste, razors, feminine products, and toilet paper.
As of 2025, it serves about 2,361 locations and has delivered hygiene relief more than 400 million times. Its efforts are intended to help adults maintain dignity, stabilize families, gain employment, and ensure schoolchildren can participate comfortably in the learning environment. In March 2026, a partnership with Fervor Marketing was announced to develop foundational strategy, clarify audiences and messaging, and activate campaigns that re-engaged donors and elevated the brand. In November 2025, it received the Non Profit Connect Philly Award for its Spring Showers for Dignity Hygiene Drive in the Marketing Campaign category.
