Affiliate Home
|   | Dress for Success does not currently have an affiliate in Knoxville but believes that the city is one that would benefit tremendously from our programs and services. We therefore are looking for individuals—working alone or as a group—interested in bringing Dress for Success to Knoxville. Starting an affiliate is an opportunity for passionate, energetic and dedicated individuals to help women thrive in work and in life as they journey towards economic independence. The suits that we distribute are much more than clothes—we see each one as a symbol of every woman's ability to succeed.
While starting and running a non-profit is certainly thrilling, it is still a lot of hard work. But the immeasurable rewards of supporting women striving to realize their full potential more than compensate for the challenges.
Support from individuals, groups and businesses—particularly from the beginning—will help make the process a bit easier and will ensure that the program is a success. If you are located in or around Knoxville and would like to offer assistance during the application or start-up process—and have services, equipment, a facility or other resources to donate to a new Dress for Success (such as your time and expertise)—please contact the Worldwide office at worldwide@dressforsuccess.org. We will keep your name on file and, when we have a candidate from Knoxville, will connect you with her/him. General questions may be sent to Worldwide via that address as well.
You will find more information about the application process and the benefits of being a member of Dress for Success in our section on starting an affiliate. An application can be requested by sending an e-mail to startup@dressforsuccess.org.

Please note that Dress for Success is not accepting apparel donations in Knoxville at this time. We will not collect clothing in the area unless an affiliate is opened.
Unfortunately, we also cannot yet offer services to women in Knxoville. While we hope that we are soon able to bring our programs to the city, we do have an affiliate in Memphis, which is currently the only Dress for Success in the state. Click here to learn about Dress for Success Memphis and how you can support the organization by volunteering, donating clothing or making a financial contribution. We also are looking for passionate, energetic and dedicated individuals who want to make a difference in ther communities—and women's lives—by opening an affiliate in Chattanooga or Nashville! Please click on these links for more information.
We thank you for your interest in Dress for Success and look forward to soon having a program serving the city of Knoxville.
