About BEAUTY BUS FOUNDATION

Beauty Bus Foundation is a Los Angeles–based 501(c)(3) nonprofit (EIN 26-3075655) founded in 2009 to bring complimentary beauty and grooming services to seriously ill patients, their caregivers, and healthcare staff. The organization uses volunteer licensed beauty professionals to deliver salon-style services where people are receiving care. Beauty Bus operates several program models—one-day Pop-Up Salons, weekly Beauty Series programs (including an infusion-center Oncology Spa Treatment), in-home visits (in partnership with the ALS Network), and a Bags of Beauty distribution program of donated clean-beauty products. It partners with hospitals and social-service organizations across Southern California and beyond, including children’s hospitals, cancer centers, Ronald McDonald House locations, and major health systems. The organization is actively operating and fundraising (events and benefit programs listed on its website) and reports program impact and metrics on its site; impact figures were updated on February 27, 2026. Beauty Bus files annual Form 990 returns and maintains a donor-facing web presence and public program activity.
