about us

About our founder:

Since 2014, Fay A. Grant has partnered with nonprofits around the globe to support those in need. She is known for her philanthropic efforts in a variety of causes, including over a decade of working to support survivors of human trafficking in Los Angeles, CA, and raising funds that supplied over 50,000 meal donations to children in need in Asheville, NC. Her heartfelt efforts have been recognized by Congress and the Smithsonian Institution. You can read her story in her recent interviews with Forbes and The TODAY Show.

Since its publication, 100% of the proceeds of the book The Kind Things We Do supported charities doing kind things. Her book helped launch a preschool in rural Haiti in partnership with Impactful Missions, where the proceeds provided school supplies, uniforms and meals to the children and their families. In 2025, the proceeds funded a four-year scholarship for a young girl at a secondary school in Kenya, providing her with tuition, room and board. 

[ mini + meep is temporarily closed ]

mini + meep is a mama-owned, family-operated business based in Los Angeles, CA. Our mission is to create high-quality, organic apparel for baby + toddlers with the utmost care for people and planet. The artwork you see on our products was hand painted by our founder and designed to make you smile, all while providing an easy and efficient way to give back to children in need. Our story began in 2014 when Fay struggled to conceive and began painting artwork she dreamt would one day adorn a nursery for her baby. A year later, she opened a small shop with a mission to help children in need. Her hope was to combine her love of helping others with her passion for creating artwork that brings joy. To date, she's donated over 50K meals to children in need and counting. Every year she works with nonprofits worldwide to support children through the sale of her book and ethically made, organic apparel. She recently donated 100% of the gross profits of her new book to provide custom uniforms (she painted the design!) and necessary supplies to help launch a preschool in rural Haiti. We're happy to say that little Emmalyn joined the mini + meep family in late 2016 and made her dream of becoming a mother a reality.
