Mission and programs · 2025

• SINCE ITS FOUNDING IN 2017, CHASIN A DREAM FOUNDATION HAS DISTRIBUTED MORE THAN $1.8 MILLION IN DIRECT FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO LOCAL FAMILIES. THE FOUNDATION CURRENTLY ASSISTS AN AVERAGE OF 120 FAMILIES EACH YEAR AND SERVES MORE THAN 700 CHILDREN DIAGNOSED WITH CANCER, CONGENITAL HEART DISEASE, CEREBRAL PALSY, EPILEPSY, MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY, CYSTIC FIBROSIS, SPINAL CORD INJURIES, GENETIC DISORDERS, TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURIES, RARE DISEASES, AND OTHER COMPLEX MEDICAL CONDITIONS. THE FOUNDATION HAS DISTRIBUTED MORE THAN 630 HOSPITAL BACKPACKS, MATCHED 12 CHILDREN WITH SERVICE DOGS, PROVIDED MENTAL WELLNESS SERVICES TO 53 PARENTS THROUGH THE MINDFUL HAVEN PROGRAM, AND IS SUPPORTED BY MORE THAN 400 VOLUNTEERS. CHASIN A DREAM FOUNDATION PROVIDES DIRECT FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO CHILDREN BATTLING LIFE-THREATENING ILLNESSES AND DISABILITIES THROUGHOUT PALM BEACH, MARTIN, AND ST LUCIE COUNTIES. A CHILDS DIAGNOSIS OFTEN CREATES IMMEDIATE FINANCIAL HARDSHIP AS PARENTS REDUCE THEIR WORK HOURS OR LEAVE THEIR EMPLOYMENT TO BECOME FULL-TIME CAREGIVERS. THROUGH THE CRITICAL NEED PROGRAM, THE FOUNDATION HELPS ENSURE THAT FAMILIES CAN FOCUS ON THEIR CHILDS MEDICAL CARE RATHER THAN THE FINANCIAL BURDEN OF ILLNESS. DIRECT ASSISTANCE IS PROVIDED FOR RENT OR MORTGAGE PAYMENTS, UTILITIES, FOOD, TRANSPORTATION TO MEDICAL APPOINTMENTS, SPECIALIZED MEDICAL EQUIPMENT, HOME MODIFICATIONS, WHEELCHAIR RAMPS, VEHICLE ADAPTATIONS, AND OTHER ESSENTIAL NEEDS NOT COVERED BY INSURANCE. THE SERVICE DOG PROGRAM PROVIDES PROFESSIONALLY TRAINED SERVICE DOGS TO CHILDREN LIVING WITH LIFE-THREATENING ILLNESSES AND DISABILITIES WHO CAN BENEFIT FROM TASK-SPECIFIC ASSISTANCE. THESE SPECIALLY TRAINED DOGS HELP CHILDREN WITH A VARIETY OF MEDICAL CONDITIONS, INCLUDING SEIZURE DISORDERS, AND OTHER COMPLEX MEDICAL NEEDS. SERVICE DOGS PROVIDE BOTH PRACTICAL ASSISTANCE AND EMOTIONAL SUPPORT, HELPING CHILDREN GAIN GREATER INDEPENDENCE, CONFIDENCE, AND SAFETY WHILE IMPROVING THEIR OVERALL QUALITY OF LIFE. CHASIN A DREAM FOUNDATION PARTNERS WITH PROFESSIONAL TRAINERS TO ENSURE EACH DOG RECEIVES EXTENSIVE TRAINING BASED ON THE INDIVIDUAL NEEDS OF THE CHILD. DOGS ARE TRAINED TO PERFORM SPECIALIZED TASKS SUCH AS ALERTING TO MEDICAL EPISODES, PROVIDING STABILITY AND MOBILITY SUPPORT, ASSISTING WITH DAILY ACTIVITIES, AND OFFERING CALMING COMPANIONSHIP DURING MEDICAL TREATMENTS AND RECOVERY. TO DATE, THE FOUNDATION HAS MATCHED 12 CHILDREN WITH PROFESSIONAL TRAINED SERVICE DOGS. THESE LIFE-CHANGING PARTNERSHIPS PROVIDE LASTING PHYSICAL, EMOTIONAL, AND THERAPEUTIC BENEFITS TO BOTH THE CHILD AND THEIR FAMILY, WHILE REDUCING CAREGIVER STRESS AND ENHANCING THE CHILDS ABILITY TO PARTICIPATE MORE FULLY IN DAILY LIFE.

• THE HOSPITAL BACKPACK PROGRAM PROVIDES PERSONALIZED BACKPACKS TO CHILDREN NEWLY DIAGNOSED WITH LIFE-THREATENING ILLNESS OR DISABILITY WHO ARE IMMEDIATELY ADMITTED TO THE HOSPITAL. DURING THESE CRITICAL FIRST DAYS, FAMILIES OFTEN ARRIVE WITH FEW PERSONAL BELONGINGS AS THEIR ENTIRE FOCUS IS ON THEIR CHILDS MEDICAL EMERGENCY. EACH BACKPACK INCLUDES AN IPAD OR CHROMEBOOK TO HELP CHILDREN REMAIN CONNECTED WITH FAMILY, FRIENDS, SCHOOL, AND MEDICAL RESOURCES, ALONG WITH HANDMADE QUILTS, STUFFED ANIMALS CREATED BY LOCAL VOLUNTEERS, TOYS, GAMES, ARTS AND CRAFTS, TOILETRIES, JOURNALS, PLANNERS, DIFFUSERS WITH ESSENTIAL OILS, GIFT CARDS, AND OTHER ITEMS THAT PROVIDE COMPORT DURING EXTENDED HOSPITAL STAYS. SINCE THE PROGRAMS INCEPTION, MORE THAN 630 BACKPACKS HAVE BEEN PROVIDED TO CHILDREN FACING SOME OF THE MOST CHALLENGING DAYS OF THEIR LIVES. THE PROGRAM HELPS REDUCE STRESS FOR BOTH THE CHILD AND THEIR FAMILY WHILE PROVIDING COMFORT, NORMALCY, AND PRACTICAL RESOURCES DURING AN UNEXPECTED MEDICAL CRISIS.

• THE MINDFUL HAVEN PROGRAM PROVIDES MENTAL HEALTH AND EMOTIONAL WELLNESS SERVICES TO PARENTS AND PRIMARY CAREGIVERS OF CHILDREN BATTLING LIFE-THREATENING ILLNESSES AND DISABILITIES. WHILE A CHILDS DIAGNOSIS RECEIVES IMMEDIATE ATTENTION, THE EMOTIONAL AND PHYSCHOLOGICAL IMPACT ON PARENTS IS OFTEN OVERLOOKED. MANY CAREGIVERS EXPERIENCE CHRONIC STRESS, ANXIETY, DEPRESSION, GRIEF, AND ISOLATION AS THEY NAVIGATE THEIR CHILDS MEDICAL JOURNEY. THE PROGRAM OFFERS INDIVIDUAL COUNSELING, SUPPORT GROUPS, MINDFULNESS AND MEDITATION SESSIONS, YOGA, JOURNELING, EMPOWERMENT WORKSHOPS, EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS, AND THERAPEUTIC COMMUNITY ACTIVITIES DESIGNED TO HELP PARENTS BUILD RESILIENCE, IMPROVE THEIR EMOTIONAL WELL-BEING, AND DEVELOP HEATHLY COPING STRATEGIES. ALL SERVICES ARE PROVIDED AT NO COST TO PARTICIPATING FAMILIES. SINCE ITS LAUNCH, 53 PARENTS HAVE PARTICIPATED IN THE MINDFUL HAVEN PROGRAM. BY STRENGTHENING THE EMOTIONAL HEALTH OF CAREGIVERS, THE PROGRAM HELPS CREATE A MORE STABLE AND SUPPORTIVE ENVIRONMENT FOR THEIR CHILDREN WHILE REDUCING THE LONG-TERM EFFECTS OF CAREGIVER BURNOUT AND COMPASSION FATIGUE.

Officers and directors · 2025

As listed in Part VII of the 2025 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.
