Kristi Yamaguchi - Always Dream Foundation

Mission:

Kristi Yamaguchi's Always Dream Foundation was established with one purpose in mind: to support organizations that have a positive influence on children.

Since its inception, the Always Dream Foundation has purchased computers for an after-school mentoring program, provided "shopping sprees" for underprivileged children to purchase back-to-school clothing, organized Holiday parties for children's shelters and sponsored summer camp for kids with disabilities.

Our continuing goal is to find innovative ways to provide funding for a diverse range of programs designed to inspire and embrace the hopes and dreams of children and adolescents.

In order to support our funding activities, the Foundation produces several special events on an annual basis. Additional income comes from the development of corporate partnerships, allocation of endorsements and appearance fees, and individual contributions.

Grantmaking Objectives:

The Always Dream Foundation is not currently reviewing unsolicited grant applications. The Foundation is, however, seeking to develop innovative community and corporate partnerships with organizations located in California, Hawaii or Nevada. Consideration will be given to organizations addressing the unmet physical, educational, social, or cultural needs of children in traditionally under-served communities, including those confronting the challenges of physical or cognitive disabilities.

We are in the process of identifying organizations possessing shared goals and complementary resources in some significant respect. We believe that the process of partnering can serve to focus goals, inspire participants and minimize administrative costs. The newly created alliance is positioned to touch many more lives within the community than either organization could on its own. We invite qualified Foundations, Corporations or Non-Profit Organizations to contact us at info@alwaysdream.org.
