Our website, https://dignitygrows.org (hereinafter: "the website") uses cookies and other related technologies (for convenience all technologies are referred to as "cookies"). Cookies are also placed by third parties we have engaged. In the document below we inform you about the use of cookies on our website.

2. Cookies

When you visit our website it can be necessary to store and/or read certain data from your device by using technologies such as cookies.

2.1 Technical or functional cookies

Some cookies ensure that certain parts of the website work properly and that your user preferences remain known. By placing functional cookies, we make it easier for you to visit our website. This way, you do not need to repeatedly enter the same information when visiting our website and, for example, the items remain in your shopping cart until you have paid. We may place these cookies without your consent.

2.2 Statistics cookies

We use statistics cookies to optimize the website experience for our users. With these statistics cookies we get insights in the usage of our website.

2.3 Marketing/Tracking cookies

Marketing/Tracking cookies are cookies or any other form of local storage, used to create user profiles to display advertising or to track the user on this website or across several websites for similar marketing purposes.

2.4 Social media

On our website, we have included content from Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn to promote web pages (e.g. “like”, “pin”) or share (e.g. “tweet”) on social networks like Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn. This content is embedded with code derived from Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn and places cookies. This content might store and process certain information for personalized advertising.

Please read the privacy statement of these social networks (which can change regularly) to read what they do with your (personal) data which they process using these cookies.

3. Placed cookies

Most of these technologies have a function, a purpose, and an expiration period.

  2. Purpose is "the Why" behind the function. Maybe the data is stored because it is needed for statistics.
  3. The expiration period shows the length of the period the used technology can “store or read certain data."

"Pads are so expensive, and my abuser does not allow me money to buy these items. Dignity Grows makes me feel more like a survivor."

Testimonial Image

"I feel better about myself knowing that Dignity Grows truly cares. I used to worry every month and be ashamed."

Testimonial Image

"It's so long since I've had anything for myself. This makes me feel a little more human."

Testimonial Image

"I love the help Dignity Grows gives me. I live alone here and I'm far from my parents, and I don’t know what I’d do without your help."

Testimonial Image

"In my culture, periods are something we don't talk about. When I couldn't get the products I needed, that made it really hard to ask for help. You made me feel heard even when I couldn't speak up."

Testimonial Image

"No parent should have to watch their daughter struggle with something so basic. You want to know that their needs are being met."

Testimonial Image

"My students are more socially comfortable when they have toiletry items. They are cleaner, more confident, and present at school."

We need your help ending Period Poverty

Donate today to drive real, measurable change

“Many teen girls stay home just because they don’t have hygiene products. Students often don’t – or can’t – ask for what they need.”

– Communities In Schools of Memphis

“The women at the shelter light up when they see a Dignity Grows delivery. It feels like a little bit of normalcy and is a reminder that somebody cares.”

– Louisville Domestic Violence Center

“Our students feel so excited to have products from Dignity Grows. It changes their concerns regarding not being able to afford the products they need.”

– University of Buffalo

“We hear from families how valuable the feminine hygiene products are for parents with young girls in the home, and how the Dignity Grows program has helped educate their children.”

– Goodwin University

“Many refugee women come here with their children and have no other family or support system. If they’re lucky enough to find shelters or temporary accommodations, they need holistic support. Shelters can only do so much so Dignity Grows helps fill an important gap in their basic needs.”

– Dignity Grows Volunteer, Austin TX

“A partnership with Dignity Grows is not a program, it’s a relationship.”

– Communities In Schools of the Tri-Cities

“Since we began the partnership with Dignity Grows the girls are coming to school clean and confident. Attendance has gone up exponentially!”

– RC Longan Elementary School

“Patrons tell us how relieved they are when they come to the library and find Dignity Grows totes. It’s a big help financially and mentally to not have to worry how they will take care of these needs.”

– Bloomfield Public Library

“We rely on partnerships like this that provide the basic needs items for our women and girls who can’t afford them.”

– YWCA

“You wouldn’t believe the faces of the women that receive the Dignity Grows bags with the period supplies. It makes you really understand how important hygiene products are to people, especially when they’ve just faced trauma.”

– Volunteer, American Red Cross
