Mission & Focus Areas
One Warm Coat’s stated mission is to provide free coats to children and adults in need while promoting volunteerism and environmental sustainability. Its programs collect and redistribute gently worn coats and distribute new outerwear through its Zero Waste Initiative, which accepts overstock, irregular, and excess inventory from retailers and manufacturers. The organization reported that its combined programs diverted more than 1.2 million pounds of textiles from landfills in the year described in its 2025 filing.
The organization’s coat network is open to qualifying 501(c)(3) organizations in good standing with the IRS and public schools. Partners must work directly with people in need and distribute coats free of charge and without discrimination; coats may not be sold.
Grantmaking
In filing year 2026, One Warm Coat reported 13 grants totaling $1,571,091. Grant amounts ranged from $5,137 to $1,026,296, with a median of $15,000. The largest reported awards included $1,026,296 to Feed the Children, $205,030 to New Life Centers of Chicagola, $148,971 to Cradles to Crayons, and $98,270 to Walk By Faith. The filing lists the grant purposes as charitable.
These cash grants are distinct from the organization’s coat-distribution partnerships. Its website says that nonprofit partners may apply to join the coat network, but receiving coats is not guaranteed, and the organization does not ship coats or fulfill wishlists. Applications are reviewed for compliance with partner guidelines; the website says they are generally processed within three business days. Partnership is free.
