THEY HAVE THE DREAM. YOU MAKE IT REAL.

Join the Dream Makers Circle

The Dream Makers Circle is a special group of donors who, like you, believe deeply in the potential of foster youth. By contributing $5,000 or more annually, Dream Makers invest in our students and help them turn their dreams into reality. Your support enables Pivotal to provide individualized one-on-one coaching, college scholarships, professional development, and internship opportunities.

As a member of the Dream Makers Circle, your household will receive:

  • Recognition in our annual report.
  • An invitation to a virtual coffee talk with a scholar, or coach who provides support directly to the youth we serve.
  • An invitation to a virtual or in-person meeting with Pivotal’s CEO, Matt Bell. Matt will share more about the impact your gift has had, answer any questions you may have, and tell you about Pivotal’s vision for the future.
