The 2026 Honor Roll
Each year we pick a short list of 501(c)(3) charities our donors love and split 100% of our year-end rental profits across them. If one of these charities recognizes someone with a community award, that person gets a free rental from us - dressed for the night they're being celebrated.
Donors nominate. We send the check.
Send us the designer pieces you don't wear. Free prepaid mailer, itemized 501(c)(3) receipt for your records.
Pieces go into our rental catalog. People rent them for weddings, galas, fundraisers, content shoots, red carpets. Profits accumulate through the year.
At year-end, 100% of net rental profits are disbursed across the Honor Roll. Anyone these charities recognize with a community award also gets a free rental from our catalog for the night they're being celebrated.
No middleman, no marketing-budget skim. Fashion turns into rental revenue, rental revenue turns into a check.
The inaugural Honor Roll charity, organizations we've supported directly, and the 501(c)(3)s our donor community keeps telling us about. We add to it as nominations come in.
Inaugural 2026 Honoree
"Giving dignity on wheels."
A mobile-outreach nonprofit founded in 2016 that meets people experiencing unsheltered homelessness where they are - food, clothing, hygiene kits, and a consistent, dignified support system. Two outreach buses, a Showers of Hope mobile trailer, and a Pathway Assistance program that removes immediate barriers to stability. Privately funded, no government dollars.

Stewards of public green space.
Champions the parks and parkways that anchor everyday community life - protecting trees, supporting volunteer cleanups, and advocating for parks as essential public infrastructure. We made a small donation to support their work.
parkpeoplemke.org →Save Them All.
Operates the country's largest no-kill animal sanctuary and a national network of partners working to end the killing of dogs and cats in America's shelters.
bestfriends.org →From harm to home.
Responds to humanitarian crises in more than 40 countries and resettles refugees across the United States, helping people whose lives have been upended by conflict and disaster recover and rebuild.
rescue.org →No application. No meetings. No partnership agreement. The Honor Roll is FashionablyGood's way of celebrating the 501(c)(3)s our donors keep telling us they care about.
At year-end we disburse 100% of our net rental profits across the Honor Roll. The check arrives unannounced, made out to their 501(c)(3), with no strings.
When an Honor Roll charity gives someone a community award, we cover the wardrobe. The honoree picks any piece in our catalog for the recognition night, no charge.
Honor Roll charities are featured on our homepage and in donor receipts across the year, surfacing their work to anyone we reach.
Donating earns you a vote on the next Honor Roll. We mail you a free prepaid bag for your designer pieces. You tell us the 501(c)(3) you love. Each November we pick the next year's Honor Roll from what donors keep telling us, with a basic check that each one is verifiable and doing real work.
By our donors. Each November we read every nomination submitted that year and pick a small group, usually 3 to 5 charities, based on what's coming up most often. We do a basic check that each is a verifiable 501(c)(3) doing real work in the community. We aim for a focused Honor Roll, not a long list.
At year-end, we disburse 100% of our net rental profits, split across the Honor Roll. "Net" means what's left after operating costs like shipping, dry cleaning, payment processing, and hosting. We publish the total in our annual report. We don't project amounts in advance.
Yes. Self-nomination is welcome and you don't need to dress it up. The strongest self-nominations are the ones that include specific, recent program metrics and at least one external reference (a donor, a partner organization, a media mention) we can talk to.
Honor Roll charities give out community awards every year: volunteer of the year, donor recognition, a community changemaker, a long-service medal. When they tell us who's being recognized, we offer that person any piece in our catalog, free, for the night they're being celebrated. The charity sends us a short list ahead of the event, the honoree gets a private booking link, and we ship it. They cover their own return shipping.
Yes. We rotate to broaden support, but consistent excellence keeps you on. There's no anti-repeat rule. Street Angels MKE will be eligible for 2027 if our donors keep nominating them.
We publish a simple year-end report on this page: total rental net profit, disbursement amounts per honoree, dates the checks cleared. As a 501(c)(3) we file Form 990 annually and that's public on Guidestar. If we say it, you can verify it.
Profit pools and gets disbursed annually across the full Honor Roll, so your individual donation isn't earmarked to one charity. If you want every dollar to go to a single 501(c)(3), the cleanest path is to give to that charity directly. What we offer instead is a way to keep designer pieces out of landfills, generate ongoing rental revenue from them, and route that revenue to a curated set of vetted 501(c)(3) charities, over and over, year after year, from the same dress.
Send us a free mailer for your designer pieces and tell us the 501(c)(3) you'd love to see on the next Honor Roll. The form takes two minutes.
