might not otherwise be able to afford a prom dress and accessories. Each
girl determines her own financial need.
Our Values
In addition to helping high school teens attend their prom with style and
confidence, The Princess Project is driven by seven core values.
In everything we do, we strive to honor these values so that we can continue
to provide the most fun and memorable experience for the teens we serve,
volunteers that help, and our generous donors.
1. We celebrate bodies of all sizes and avoid using body imagery in our
marketing and outreach. Body-oriented graphics and artwork‹like torso
sillouettes, dress outlines or generic, stock prom photos‹inadvertently
convey an idealized body size, style and look. By instead using images of
the girls we serve and royalty-related imagery like tiaras and crowns, we
celebrate the beauty and diversity of girls everywhere, in every size.
2. We value the importance of recycling and of using the earth¹s resources
wisely. We seek to show our respect for this recycling process by treating
each clothing and/or accessory donation as valued and important.
3. We trust that girls who are in financial need of garments or accessories
will attend The Princess Project events, and we will welcome them without
question. We in turn will foster the important trust of our donors, who give
to The Princess Project with the intent that girls in need will benefit.
4. We strive to offer meaningful volunteer leadership opportunities for
women, and seek to provide a venue for volunteers to grow personally and
professionally. We seek to make The Princess Project planning process
rewarding, educational, and fun for our volunteers.
5. We strive to include representatives of girls that we serve in our
decision-making processes.
6. We strive to create a respectful, fun atmosphere for the girls we serve
at the Dress Giveaway events.
7. We strive to include the diversity of people represented in the Bay Area
community in our volunteer corps.
Donation Guidelines
We have established firm donation guidelines in an effort to streamline our organizational efforts and solicit goods that will reflect our core values
constituents.

2. Dresses MUST be dry-cleaned and on hangers.
