Our Programs
DREAMER CLASS:
A Dream Chaser Foundation Master Class Series
Launching October 2026
Dreamers Classes connect Black women with entrepreneurs, artists, scholars, changemakers,
and subject-matter experts who can help them move their dreams forward.
These bi-monthly learning opportunities provide access to practical knowledge, resources, and real-world experiences that support artistic, academic, and entrepreneurial pursuits.
Each class stands on its own, allowing Dreamers to participate in the topics and conversations that are most relevant to where they are on their journey.
Dream Forward Fund
Launching November 2026
The Dream Forward Fund is the Dream Chaser Foundation’s trust-based grant making program, created to provide direct financial support to Black women pursuing artistic, academic,
and entrepreneurial dreams.
The grant process is intentionally designed to reduce unnecessary barriers often associated with traditional philanthropy. Dreamers will be invited to tell us about their vision, what they need to move it forward, and how an investment from the Foundation can help make that next step
possible.
The inaugural application cycle will open in November 2026, with grants ranging from $1,000 to
$2,500.
Supported by The Village, the Dream Forward Fund puts collective giving into action by moving resources directly into the hands of Black women with dreams worth investing in.
The Asterisk Society
Launching February 2027
The Asterisk Society is the Dream Chaser Foundation’s literacy initiative, created to expand access, engagement, and opportunity through reading while centering the experiences of Black girls.
With particular attention to young people who may experience barriers to traditional approaches
to literacy, including neurodivergent learners, the Asterisk Society will create opportunities to experience books, build literacy skills, and develop a stronger relationship with reading. The Asterisk Society launches in February 2027 in recognition of Black Literacy Day.
Young Dreamers
Launching Summer 2027
Young Dreamers introduces middle and high school students to entrepreneurship, innovation, and leadership through an engaging, hands-on experience.
Participants will move from idea to pitch—learning how to develop a concept, think through what it takes to bring that idea to life, communicate their vision, and confidently present it to others.
The experience culminates in a Shark Tank-style pitch opportunity where Young Dreamers can put what they have learned into action. Young Dreamers is about more than building a business idea. It is about helping the next generation recognize that their ideas have value and giving them the tools and confidence to
pursue them.
