About DREAM Fund
Dedicating Resources to Employees of Advertising and Media (DREAM) Fund is a nonprofit foundation and the support link to the community of advertising, public relations and media professionals across the Southwest. We exist to aid colleagues – in Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Arkansas and Louisiana – through financial assistance and emotional support during times of personal crisis.
Since 1991, DREAM Fund has gifted nearly $2,500,000 to individuals facing illness, medical emergencies and other unexpected hardship.
Your tax-deductible contribution to DREAM Fund can ensure continued help to those who need it – people who, many times, would not qualify for assistance from other sources.
Bad things do happen to good people. But beautiful things happen when people pull together. And teamwork is what makes our DREAM work.

What We Do
We provide financial, as well as, emotional assistance to those in need. Our goal is to make sure emotional needs are met, as well as financial. Emotional care can mean anything from sending flowers, serving meals, assisting with transportation to medical treatment, providing childcare, to in home care. Our philosophy is to be THERE when someone is need. We strive to meet all needs, not just financial needs. We can share story after story of volunteers spending weekends to care for terminally ill colleagues, visiting those who are home or hospital bound, or filling a prescription late at night so that a critical dose of medication is not missed. We give in the most meaningful way, meeting the most immediate needs.
