Our ambition
To bring education to every child on the planet.
It's 2024 — education should be a reality for every child.
We have self-driving cars, we're going to Mars, and AI is everywhere. Education should be a reality for every child.
Ultimately the value of education is increasing because it will determine whether the defining trends of this century — technological, economic, and demographic — will create opportunity or inequality.
It’s time we harness the best of our world to give every child the opportunity to learn and grow.
We're dream: success, a nonprofit working to bring education to every child on the planet. With a local-first mindset, we provide grants to organizations in developing countries to fund education projects around the world, helping more kids attend school.
Ideally, every country would have the resources to invest in building strong education systems that support their citizens. Unfortunately, education is not prioritized and does not currently receive enough funding; there’s a $200 billion financing shortfall per year in low and lower-middle income countries.
So, the international community — governments, financial institutions, investors, and charities like us — need to show up and help.
We’re excited to create the bright future everyone deserves with the help of supporters like you and local partners. If we all pitch in, we’re confident we can see the day every child can go to school.
Our approach
Charities have the most important purposes on the planet — and yet, they routinely fall short of for-profits. While keeping our purpose in mind, we lead with people at our core and entrepreneurship in our spirit. We challenge ourselves to drive innovation forward in the nonprofit sector.
Local partnerships make the Dream work.
We provide local organizations in developing countries with the support they need to implement education projects and uplift their communities.
We're redefining what it means to be open.
Our transparency hub — called State of the Dream — is a place where you can see our financials and metrics to follow our progress.
We can't do it without you
Give education and help kids live their Dreams.
