Dream BIG was designed to make the dreams of children in foster care come true. Many times children in foster care are hopeful to simply have basic needs met that others take for granted. We want kids in foster care to be able to think beyond basic needs and learn to Dream BIG! This round of Dream BIG focuses primarily on enrichment and extracurricular activities!

RULES AND GUIDELINES FOR DREAM BIG BUILDING BRIGHT FUTURES! 

 

• Who is Eligible?

  • Any child ages 0-18 who is currently in foster care in Oklahoma, Cleveland, or Canadian counties.

• Who Can Nominate a Child?

  • Anyone can nominate a child to receive the chance to dream big and gain access to support and opportunities that may not be otherwise available to them. Whether you are a foster or adoptive parent, a foster care worker, a therapist, a court-appointed special advocate (CASA), a teacher, or a child's attorney, we want to hear from you.

  • Nominations from individuals who understand the unique challenges children in foster care face are particularly valuable. The nominating individual must also have a relationship with the child, ensuring they possess a deep understanding of the child's needs.

  • By submitting a nomination, you can play an essential role in helping a child feel seen, valued, and included. Your involvement can make a significant difference in these children's lives, promoting social, emotional, and mental well-being.

• Important to Remember

  • While we strive to make as many dreams come true as possible through Dream BIG: Building Bright Futures, our capacity to assist is limited. To ensure we can allocate resources effectively, please provide as much detail as possible in your application. The more specific you are in your request, the better we can understand the child's needs.
