one thing i know now

is that dream foundation

is about moments.

i’ve seen this happen

many times.

it’s the moment

that you realize

that death is inevitable.

it’s the moment

you realize the

power of a dream.

it’s the moment

you read somone’s

request and you realize

how simple the

dream is.

it’s the moment that

you do work for the

foundation and

feel good about it.

it’s being part of a

dream team and

helping make someone’s

dream come true.

it’s the moment

when you realize

how fragile life is and

how quickly it

passes.

it’s the moment

you feel so grateful

for all that you have.

it’s the moment that

you want to do more.

it’s the moment when

you say “yes” to

something

for someone

that you might not

have in the past.

it’s knowing in your heart

that this is all good

and the moment

is now.

Rollerson, Dream Foundation is the first and largest

national wish-granting organization for adults with

life-limiting illness.

The Mission of Dream Foundation is to enhance the

quality of life of individuals and their families who

are battling catastrophic illness.

Dream Foundation helps adults find peace and

closure with the realization of a final wish.

Dear Donor:

Looking back over the past 14 years (almost 15!) and forward to what liesahead, I’m confident that Dream Foundation is exactly where we needto be, doing work that is needed now more than ever.

So many of us have been affected by the country’s economic downturn,struggling to cope with losses and hardships. It’s tempting to worry onlyabout our own families this year. But I believe that no one feels thedepths of these troubled times more than our dream recipients.

The diagnosis of a catastrophic illness has very real economic consequences for the low-income familieswe serve. They face crippling medical bills, lost wages, rising expenses, and emotional upheaval. Theseindividual realities are compounded by the larger economic realities of shrinking budgets, reducedservices, and scaled-back charitable giving. We know this to be true because the number of dreamrequests has increased as healthcare, hospice, and hospital budgets have diminished. When traditionalavenues of support close to them, these families increasingly look to us for hope. In short, the work ofDream Foundation matters more today than ever before.

In 2007, we fulfilled 1,156 final dreams—a 25% increase from the previous year—with a budget of $2.4million. But numbers alone do not tell the whole story. The very nature of incoming requests is changingas well. A full 52% of our dream recipients now make “quality of life” requests. This means they askonly for very basic needs that Medicare or medical insurance will not provide—a gift card to buy food,a mattress, hearing aid, an air-conditioner, and the like.

As one of the only providers of end-of-life wishes for adults, Dream Foundation finds itself in a uniqueposition. The Association of Wish Granting Organizations lists 88 entities that serve children. Yet even14 years into our work, we remain largely alone in addressing the needs of catastrophically ill adults.

Yes, we fulfilled 1,156 dreams in 2007. But that was not our only achievement. We also:

• received the Best in America Seal from the Independent Charities of America, by meeting highstandards of program effectiveness and public accountability. Out of 1,000,000 charities in the U.S.,less than 2,000 have been awarded this seal.

• delivered over 3,600 bouquets to the seriously ill and elderly through our Flower Empower Program.

• distributed boxes of new, age-appropriate toys to more than 400 dream recipients with young childrenthrough our volunteer-driven Toy Program.

from the founder/president


In 2008, we continue to add accomplishments. In September, for instance, we hit a new milestone:our 7,000th dream. We’re especially proud of this achievement because we know that each dreamtouches countless loved ones, friends, and communities as well. For all of 2008, we project completionof 1,700 dreams—on a reduced budget of $2.2 million. This is accomplished at a tremendous cost tothe Dream Foundation staff, an exceptional staff, working harder than ever with reduced resources.

As you turn the pages of this Annual Report, please recognize the tremendous role that you played infulfilling these dreams. I am proud of our network of in-kind donors, volunteers, and local businesseswhose partnership enriched and enhanced each dream request and helped us to complete anotheryear of dream fulfillment.

Now in our 14th year, I believe even more strongly in our mission. Yes, times may be tough. Butwe have not lost hope; we cannot lose hope because it is the very essence of what we provide tohundreds of families each year. Ultimately, the work of Dream Foundation is all about hope—hopethat the physical and emotional suffering of a catastrophically ill adult will be eased by a final wishrealized, and hope that a family devastated by illness will be encouraged and uplifted by the kindnessof strangers. Our families depend on us, and we depend on you. We need you now more than ever.

Thank you for believing in caring for people during their end of life journey,

Always from the heart,

Thomas RollersonFounder/President

Dream Foundation recently received the Independent Charities of America (ICA) Sealof Excellence. The award goes to members of ICA and Local Independent Charities ofAmerica that have, upon rigorous independent review, been able to certify, document,and demonstrate on an annual basis that they meet the highest standards of publicaccountability, program effectiveness, and cost effectiveness. These standards includethose required by the U.S. government for inclusion in the Combined Federal Campaign,probably the most exclusive fund drive in the world. Of the 1,000,000 charities operatingin the U.S. today, estimates conclude that fewer than 50,000 or five percent, meet orexceed these standards. Of those, fewer than 2,000 have been awarded this seal.


from the board president

Dear Donors,

Since 1994, with the passionate leadership of its founder ThomasRollerson, a very committed National Board of Directors, HonoraryBoard of Governors and a totally dedicated staff, the Dream Foundationhas maintained an amazing record of accomplishment and growth.

In 2007 alone 1,156 adults with a life prognosis of one year or lesswere provided with help in order to achieve a final request, a wish or a

dream. By October 2008, our 7000th dream will have touched andbrightened the lives of recipients, their families and friends, and of course, all of those donors, staff,volunteers, board members, and corporate partners who made these dreams a reality. What starts as asmall idea, and finds the right ears, creates immeasurable joy late in the dream recipient’s life, and inthe process, lasting joy in the lives of those close by.

The magnitude of this accomplishment is best put into perspective when you consider that theagency’s program staff numbers just seven, some working on a part-time basis and that DreamFoundation’s clients live in every one of the United States.

Perhaps an even greater achievement is that they did it on a budget of $2,400,000 and managed toseek out an almost equal amount in in-kind donations. A dollar, here, buys a lot of heart food.

I believe that these accomplishments are based on the board and staff’s unerring dedication to theagency’s unique mission of compassion and service to adults at the end of life’s journey, and to thefamilies who are taking the journey along with them.

On behalf of Dream Foundation’s Board and Staff I extend to all of our supporters gratitude for yourgenerosity and belief in our mission and I ask that you continue your support as Dream Foundationapproaches its 15th year of service to adults suffering progressive and irreversible illness. Come toone of our events, meet a dream recipient and their families, meet the staff that crafts and deliversthe dreams. It will change your life.

Jon BullChairman of the Board


Dear Donors,

What a pleasure it is to be associated withan organization like Dream Foundation.For the past fourteen years it hasmaintained itself without governmentfunds and solely with the generoussupport of local and national donors, ofunderstanding corporate partnerships,

of foundations that understand its unique mission and froman incredible group of in-kind donors who provided almost$2,000,000 in goods and services in 2007.

As a financial professional I am doubly impressed with the fact thatthis small, but national, agency has never ended a year in deficitmode and accomplishes so much by perseverance, attention todetail, prudent management and immense good will to its clients,their families and to its supporters.

Once again Dream Foundation’s most current audit indicates thatit spent 86% of income on its Programs, 5% on Administration and9% on Fundraising. These numbers are considered outstanding byall agencies that rate not-for-profit organizations and has earnedDream Foundation the Independent Charities of America Seal ofExcellence.

Dream Foundation’s Finance Committee is proud to work with andsalutes the hard-working executives and staff of Dream Foundationas they approach their 15th year of service to adults facing theend of life’s journey and to the families who are taking the journeywith them.

Volunteer Program We could not grant asmany dreams without the help of our dedicated volun-teers. Dream Foundation relies on a nationwide net-work of volunteers that enables us to reach out andtouch dream recipients all across the United States.

Dream Hosts Our Corporate Partners provideDream Foundation with employee volunteers whohelp us make dreams come true. Space does notallow us to list the names of all the volunteers thathave helped make over 1,156 dreams come true in2007. We are grateful to each and every one of you!

If you wish to volunteer please contact Jackie Waddillat (805) 564-2131 or [email protected]

Additional Programs

Giving Flight to Dreams Dream Foundation relies ondonated airline miles to make dreams come true. Many dreamsinvolve travel as dream recipients try to create one final positiveexperience for their family. Some recipients wish to return home to die,and others are anxious to visit with family members for a final good-bye. Many of these dreams involve young children whose parents des-perately need to create positive memories for the family to hold ontoafter they are gone. Mileage donors may choose a specific dream tosupport or contribute directly to our airline mile bank.

We are grateful to the following airlines that are Partners in Dreamsby participating in our mileage program and accepting donationsof miles: Alaska Airlines, American Airlines, Continential Airlines,Northwest Airlines, and United Airlines.

Please Note: Donated miles are used ONLY for dreams that

require travel and are never used for organizational travel.


Toy Program When we discovered that many of our dream recipientshave young children we began to think of what it must feel like to be thechild of a dying parent. The entire family is focused on the very ill parent andprobably has been for months or years. Usually, there is little money avail-able due to medical expenses and inability of the parent to work. Theyoungsters can only stand by, silently watching, as a parent’s health de-clines.

We decided to do something for those kids—to let them know that theyare not forgotten in the midst of the emotional turmoil that is engulfingtheir family. We send each child a big box of age-appropriate toys. Inthe bigger picture of what is happening to the family it is a small ges-ture, but it means a great deal to the children, and their parents. The ToyProgram was underwritten by Board Chairman A.J. Rice in 2007.

Dream Foundation’s Flower Empower program is specialto our hometown, Santa Barbara. Each Saturday, a group ofvolunteers gather at the local Farmer’s Market and preparebouquets using flowers donated by local growers. With a listthat we provide, they then deliver them to people battling illnessor those we simply want to remind that they are not alone, andthat their community cares.

Included with each bouquet is a package of home madecookies freshly baked by a local family (Roger, Robin, Rachael,Eli, Jake and Benjamin Himovitz) and a card created by localschool children.

Flower Empower was underwritten by Mel & Angie Farber andGary Nett in 2007.

We are very grateful to the following flower growers who donate their beautiful blooms for this program: Westerlay,Ever-Bloom, Westland Floral Company, Myriad Flowers, B&H Flowers, Inc., Domingo Farms, and Valley Flowers, Inc.

with kidney cancer. Her new stackable

washer and dryer make her smile. Now

she does not have to travel from her

home to do laundry.

Ronald is from New York City. At the age

of 70, he is losing his battle with prostate

cancer. Ronald was a dancer and actor,

but has been unable to leave his home

in two years. Through your generosity

and kindness, a power chair was provided

for Ronald. He is now out in the world,

savoring each moment. “Thank you all for

making such a difference in my life. I am

filled with joy.”

William 98, of Indianapolis, IN spends

most of his days in a reclining chair,

reading, watching TV and enjoying the

company of his wife. He can no longer

get up from the chair without assistance

and his wife is too frail to help. We

provided William with a lift chair and

he is now able rise on his own.

Monica is from Fullerton, California.

At age 40 she battles breast cancer.

Her new lift chair has made it easier for

her to be as independent as possible.

Dear Thomas& Dream Foundation:

As a parent, one of themost difficult situationswe have faced is the real-ization that we will mostlikely outlive our child. Itgoes against the “natural”order of life. There are mo-

ments when we cannot begin to fathom how we

could live without Jenni’s smile, her laughter,

her positive outlook, her strength. Yet we believe

in a God who can do the impossible and get by,

day by day, on faith.

When first told that she had 6 to 12 months left

before the cancer would begin to cripple her with

pain, Jenni made a list of the 10 things she wanted

to do before she died. We wanted to help her

accomplish those goals and yet did not have the

resources to make all 10 happen. That is where

the Dream Foundation came in.

Your organization stepped in to make possible

what we could not. You helped her check off

several more items from that top 10 list, giving

us hope that dreams do come true and giving us

memories that will keep us smiling for years to

come. For that we are, and will always be, grate-

ful. A huge thank you from our hearts to all

who support the dreams of Dream Foundation.

Sincerely,Ruth and Richard,parents of dream recipient Jenni
