You already know what a gift to Dreamer Scholars can do - it’s easy to share your enthusiasm and help Fund the Dream!
This Colorado Gives Day season, you can multiply your efforts by inviting the people who trust you to join in. Create a ColoradoGives fundraiser page for "I Have A Dream" Foundation, share it with your friends, family, and colleagues, and watch a community come together for Dreamer Scholars and their families.
Early giving opens Sunday, November 1. Colorado Gives Day itself is Tuesday, December 8, 2026. Your page can go live as soon as early giving begins.
Why a Page Makes a Difference
People give when someone they know and trust invites them. A personal page puts your reason for believing in Dreamer Scholars in front of the people who care about you, and every gift made through your page supports "I Have A Dream" Foundation. One page can bring in many new friends of the Dreamer Scholars.

A Few Ideas for Sharing Your Page
Launch on November 1, when early giving opens, so your friends have the whole season to respond.
Lead with your reason. A sentence or two about why you believe in Dreamer Scholars speaks louder than any statistic.
Share your page again at a few points along the way: at launch, midway through, and on Colorado Gives Day.
Close the loop with a short thank-you to everyone who gives.
