One Warm Coat operates nationwide as a cloud-based nonprofit that provides free coats to children and adults in need while promoting volunteerism and environmental sustainability. Founded in 1992, the organization has organized about 50,000 coat drives and collected 8 million coats, distributing them through more than 1,500 nonprofit partners and preventing over 19 million pounds of textiles from entering landfills. Individuals and organizations participate by donating coats, hosting coat drives, or making financial contributions. Based near the United States Air Force Academy in Colorado, the organization sits in the nonprofit sector as a network-driven program with a small staff. In June 2026, the organization added three new members to its Board of Directors: Sue Chon, Patrice Jones-Washington, and Roshni Patel. Earlier in 2025, it partnered with Shapell Properties to host coat drives.
