Your Wedding Dress Donation
Can Help Others

“It’s after the wedding. Why not make a wedding dress donation to a charitable organization?”

The proceeds from the gown will be used for a good cause. Plus it’s tax deductible too!

Some charitable organizations that come to mind would be Goodwill Thrift Store, Children’s Hospital Thrift Stores along with some others.

But here are some others to consider . . .

Making Memories is a non-profit organization. This organization benefits men and women who are fighting breast cancer.

The funds from gowns sold “help grant the wishes and dreams” of men and women “losing their fight against breast cancer.”

About half of the bridal gowns are brand new and come directly from wedding dress designers. Most gowns sell between $99 and $799 even though some retail as high as $8000.

Also, individual brides donate wedding dresses.

If you are looking to buy a gown . . . the organization “hold bridal gown sales’ all over the country. To find out the dates for the next sale click on the link above.

Bridal Garden is a not for profit organization that benefits children’s charities from the sale of pre-owned wedding dresses.

Heavenly Angels In Need is an organization that help grieving parents of babies that die in the hospital who would like to see their baby dressed in burial attire but cannot afford it.

Heavenly Angels receive donated wedding dresses, take them apart and use them “to make burial garments” for parents to bury their babies in. “Your wedding dress donation is directly used for a worthy cause.”

Get your bridesmaids in on this idea too, since they also take donated prom dresses and bridesmaids dresses.

The The I Do Foundation will sell your dress through their consignment partner. They will donate 20% of the proceeds from the sale of your dress to the charity of your choice. The remaining funds are used to support the I Do Foundation's ongoing work to encourage charitable giving at weddings. In addition, you may be eligible to receive a tax deduction for the value of your dress donation.

Here are two other charitable organizations “bridesmaids” can use to donate their dresses to:

Donate My Dress and The Princess Project are organizations that allow women to donate prom and special occasion dresses for good causes.

Donate My Dress is the first national network to bring together local dress drive organizations in one place. They help you find one in your local area so that once you finish with your dress you can help someone else have their dream night.

The Princess Project take in donated prom dresses to help girls who can’t afford prom dress in the San Francisco Bay Area in California. Some bridesmaids dresses are stylish enough to use as a prom dress.

“So after your wedding day, why not donate your wedding dress to one of these organizations.”

If you are not going to turn your dress into a family heirloom, then “donate a wedding dress to the charity of your choice.”

“You will find satisfaction in the fact that your wedding dress donation, help to provide happiness for others.”
