What are affiliates? How do they operate?
We use the term affiliates to refer to the locations where we offer services. Each Dress for Success affiliate is a member of Dress for Success Worldwide and is an independent non-profit organization with its own policies, staff and board of directors. The Worldwide office licenses the Dress for Success name to affiliates, all of whom fulfill the overall mission of helping women journey towards self-sufficiency. Not all Dress for Success programs are available in every location; affiliates provide services to their communities based on local needs, cultural traditions and resources.
