About the Dream Factory - Granting Over 25,000 Dreams!

In 1980, The Dream Factory began with one all-volunteer chapter in Hopkinsville, Kentucky. Since then, The Dream Factory has grown into the second-largest children’s wish-granting organization in the United States, granting over 25,000 dreams since its inception. It continues to operate all 38 of its local chapters with over 5000 very dedicated volunteers. These hard-working individuals raise funds within their own communities and then use those funds to grant the dreams of local children. Since it does not employ people on a local level, 90% of all money raised by The Dream Factory is used to grant the dreams of critically and chronically ill children. This record of success has been recognized by Charity Navigator as a four-star charity, it’s highest rating. Charity Navigator is the largest and most utilized evaluator of charities.

 

The Dream Factory is the only children’s wish-granting organization that does not limit its mission to children who have life-threatening illness. The organization believes children with chronic illnesses and disorders also suffer from substantial emotional and physical pain. It strives to provide hope and relief from the trauma and corresponding stress and depression that both the children and their families can endure on a day-to-day basis. Doctors agree that providing a dream can improve the quality of life for these children and extend the life of a critically ill child.

 

The Dream Factory operates under five core values:

• Dedication – We will do everything in our power to create a positive, memorable experience for our dream recipients and their families.
• Responsibility – We are committed to being an ethical, fiscally and socially responsible all-volunteer organization.
• Empathy – We place the medical and personal needs of our dream children and their families above all else.
• Attention – We are attentive to the desires of our dream children, their families, our volunteers, sponsors and donors.
• Mission-Driven – We will fulfill our mission of granting dreams for critically and chronically ill children and are committed to working as a team and with mutual respect.
