About Dreamorg
Dreamorg’s largest recent grant was $50,000,000 to Impactassets Inc for EPA EJCPS technical assistance, signaling a grantmaking profile that pairs large-scale environmental justice funding with capacity support for community groups. Across the recent grants listed here, the foundation also backed operating needs, fellowships, scholarships, and technical assistance for organizations and cohorts working on criminal justice reform, climate justice, and economic opportunity.
That mix shows up in both institutional grants and smaller program awards. In 2023, Dreamorg gave $1,000,000 each to Codepathorg and Culture Changing Christians Worship Center for operations support, and later provided $500,000 to Performing Arts Center at the World Trade for operations. At a smaller scale, it has also funded cohort-based and fellowship programs for justice-impacted young adults and climate-focused entrepreneurs. The foundation’s stated work brings people together across racial, social, and partisan lines, and the grant list reflects that through support for advocacy, coalition building, leadership development, and project implementation. Recent recipients include organizations in philanthropy, environmental justice, and community-based education and training.
What Dreamorg Funds
Dreamorg’s environmental justice work is visible in the EPA EJCPS technical assistance grants, which support community organizations with project development and implementation. Examples include $300,000 to Justicetext Inc, $300,000 to Freecap Financial Inc, and $50,000 to Community Spring Inc.
The foundation also funds criminal justice reform and leadership development. Its Justice Next Cohort gives Black and Brown young adults ages 18-24 a 9-week skill-building program and a $1,000 stipend, while the Dream Fellowship supports budding activists and justice-impacted leaders working on reentry, substance use harm reduction, mental health stabilization, environmental justice, and immigration-related issues.
On the climate side, Dreamorg backs workforce and entrepreneurship pathways. The Dream.Org Business Council Fellowship awards $20,000 fellowships for clean energy careers, and Climate Tech LaunchPad supports Black and Latinx climate technology entrepreneurs with accelerator-style help and investor readiness.
