Dream Factory of Brooklyn

Dream Factory of Brooklyn is a nonprofit organization that grants dreams to critically and chronically ill children between the ages of 3 and 18. As a local chapter of Dream Factory, Inc., the Brooklyn chapter serves children and families throughout Brooklyn and surrounding communities. The organization works with families, healthcare providers, volunteers, and community supporters to identify and fulfill individualized dreams based on each child’s interests and circumstances.

What They Do

Dream Factory of Brooklyn grants individualized dreams based on the interests and wishes of eligible children living with critical or chronic illnesses. Eligible children must be ages 3 through 18, have a medically diagnosed critical or chronic illness, and live or receive treatment within a Dream Factory chapter’s service area. Dreams can include special experiences, trips, gifts, or other opportunities tailored to each child’s interests and circumstances. The organization works with families, healthcare providers, volunteers, and community partners to coordinate each dream.

The organization relies on volunteers and community support to coordinate dream requests, plan experiences, and provide the resources needed to fulfill each dream. Working alongside families, medical professionals, and local partners, Dream Factory identifies eligible children and coordinates each dream according to the child’s needs and circumstances.

Dream Factory chapters are 100% volunteer-run and typically serve a 50-mile radius around their home city. In 2025, Dream Factory chapters granted more than 200 dreams nationwide. The annual report highlights dreams involving travel, special experiences, and a modified vehicle that gave one child the opportunity to drive. Dream Factory, Inc. (Brooklyn Chapter) is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization with EIN 37-1636860. Learn more about its work at https://dreamfactorybrooklyn.org/.
