IRS990/Desc0Dignity Grows' signature, Hope in a Bag program, reached over 56,000 underserved women and girls in 2024, providing critical menstrual necessities and hygiene care nationwide. Nearly 40% of this impact supported school-aged girls and their families, helping students remain in class and engaged in extracurricular activities without interruption. This work was made possible through dedicated partnerships with 550 community organizations across metro, urban, and rural communities in 30 states. Facilitated through a hometown chapter model, Hope in a Bag, mobilized a national network of 5,300 volunteers to learn about Period Poverty and assemble monthly hygiene kits for routine distribution this year.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0In 2024, Dignity Grows piloted Hope in a Backpack, a new large-scale direct product support program, designed to strengthen entire communities. By addressing menstrual hygiene insecurity across whole zip codes, school districts, healthcare systems, and Indigenous communities, this initiative advances systemic change, ensuring women and girls can pursue their goals free from the disruptive effects of Period Poverty. Hope in a Backpack launched in Petersburg, VA, where it established a collaborative menstrual hygiene support system for every female student in the middle school and high school. Over three-quarters of the families served reported that this hygiene support positively affected the economic stability of their household.
