Dress for Success does not presently have an affiliate in Birmingham.  However, we do believe that there are many women in and around the city that could benefit tremendously from our programs.  Dress for Success is a grassroots organization, and the impetus for new affiliates comes from within a community.  We are hoping to find passionate, dedicated and motivated individuals in Birmingham—working either alone or as a group—who want to change women's lives by establishing an affiliate.  

A Dress for Success in Birmingham would offer support and assistance to women entering or returning to the workforce as they journey towards economic independence, rewarding careers and brighter futures for themselves, their families and their children.  We may be best known for providing professional apparel to disadvantaged women, but the suits that Dress for Success gives out are more than just clothes—they symbolize our belief in every woman's ability to succeed.

For more information about the start-up process and the benefits of being a member of Dress for Success, please visit our section on starting an affiliate.  You also can request an application by sending an e-mail to startup@dressforsuccess.org.  

Establishing a non-profit organization can be challenging and time-consuming, just as it would be to start any business.  Support from the community is absolutely essential if a Dress for Success is to succeed.  If you live in or near the city want to get involved in some way in the application or start-up process—but undertake the application process on your own—please send us an e-mail.  Once we have an applicant for Birmingham, we will connect you with her/him.
