1,000 Dreams Fund Story

Vision 2030 is to Close the Dream Gap

As We Celebrate Our 10th Anniversary in 2026, We Aim To Empower 50,000 Women Both Nationally and Internationally

We believe that big obstacles should never stand in the way of big dreams.

At 1,000 Dreams Fund, we are aware that the world of work shifts and changes over time.  Our mission is to help talented women in need reach their dreams by providing greater access to education, mentorship, and career readiness opportunities.  With that in mind, in consultation with our corporate and workplace partners, it is important to understand how workplaces can prepare for the big and small changes that we will encounter.

As we respond to profound changes in the future of the workplace, many students lack access to the right resources that help accelerate their success. With the rising cost of college, technology, technical training, and extracurriculars, those dreams can also feel totally out of reach.

But they’re not — and 1,000 Dreams Fund is here to empower students to power on toward their greatest ambitions through our partnerships with corporations, foundations, trade organizations, student organizations, and state and federal government.

We make strategic investments in students that help fuel their dreams through our 3 Pillars: Funding, Mentoring and Hiring.
