OUR TEAM

Working Together to Help Foster Kids Nationwide

With more than 218 foster care non-profit partners, donations reaching over 287,000 foster kids each year, and over 100 corporate donors, the Ticket to Dream team wears many hats. We first and foremost do what’s best for foster kids, stretching every dollar, loading truck after truck, hosting events for critical supplies, helping create mass marketing campaigns, and more. As one of the few national foster care non-profits, we keep our eye on the big picture, helping to create change for kids that need more stability and normalcy, while also digging deep to see the individual unmet needs that need to be addressed.

​

We are marketing experts in the retail and cause marketing fields. Having executed hundreds of campaigns, we know how to help your business engage your customers and employees to help foster kids and create brand loyalty.

 

We are logistics experts with our own warehouse, allowing us to distribute more physical donations than any other foster care non-profit across the country. We make it easy for companies to donate products and helping stretch our donation dollars to provide more essentials to kids.

​

We care deeply about foster kids, their needs, and are always looking for ways we can help them thrive.
