​How to Get Started

​There is no fee to launch a Dignity Grows chapter. Each chapter sets its own pace for fundraising and participation, all of which serve individuals in need in their own community.

Launching a chapter is simple. You don’t need prior experience​, just a passion for making a difference. The Dignity Grows national team will guide you with resources, training, and ongoing support. Please use the form to get started.

Together, we can change the cycle of Period Poverty, one ​chapter at a time

Chapter Impact in Action

No one should choose between food and hygiene. With generous support from The Steven & Alexandra Cohen Foundation, one Connecticut chapter ensured families don’t have to sacrifice dignity for survival.

“I am spending all of my money on food for my grandkids – I couldn’t meet my hygiene needs if it weren’t for Dignity Grows”
