Overview
Mission
Dorm Fairies mission is to assist individuals with dorm room essentials to lessen their financial burden for college. Our goal is to help provide a successful college transition to our recipients. Our vision is to not only provide dorm essentials but educate students on transitioning from high school to college, in hopes of improving the graduation rate of US freshmen students. Our primary award areas are the greater Hampton Roads region, Historic Triangle, Fairfax County Virginia. However, students apply from all over VA and the country.
What it reported doing in 2025
Dorm Dash Dorm Supply Drive & College Readiness program was created to serve students who apply for our awards but cannot be funded due to limited resources. Through this initiative, we provide students with dorm room essential baskets and a gift. In addition to material support, Dorm Dash includes an educational component to help students and parents navigate the college transition. Dorm essential baskets include items such as laundry baskets, Brita water bottles, first aid kits, desk lamps, surge protectors, sheet and towel sets, mattress pads, command strips, hangers, laundry bags, and shower caddies. Each student also receives an additional gift. We impacted 56 students in 2025. Since 2024 we have impacted 88 students.
