Where gifts go
How we allocate program resources
Every donation moves the mission forward — collecting dresses, moving them where they're needed, and making sure teens across Wisconsin know their night is covered.
- Dress drives & drops · 55%
- Transportation & storage · 25%
- Outreach & education · 12%
- Operations · 8%
This is a program allocation model describing how we plan to direct gifts — not audited financial statements. Dress Campaign files Form 990-N as a small tax-exempt organization with gross receipts under $50,000.
Sources of support
Who makes this work possible
Individual gifts
Cash gifts from supporters help cover transportation, storage, and the small costs that keep dress drops running.
School & club partnerships
High schools and student clubs like Bay Gives Back host drives that bring in dozens of dresses at a time.
Dress Campaign is run entirely by volunteers. There are no paid staff, so every gift and every donated dress goes straight to the mission.
