Dream Guidelines

Our program is designed to come alongside youth who have aged out, or are in the process of aging out, of the foster care system and are doing so without support — between the ages of 18 and 29 (not dependents or partners of).

Dreams should elevate, remove barriers, create opportunity, provide permanency, sustain employment, make education available, or promote confidence and growth. Dreams should empower without enabling. (Please avoid dreams like rent, debt, and medical procedures. These are not eligible requests for our program.)

Most dreams that we select are within the $100-$1,000 range. We do occasionally select dreams for higher amounts based on a compelling need; this is rare, but still possible. Please keep in mind the larger the dream, the longer it usually takes to find a donor for that dream.
