Dream Adaptive Recreation, Inc.

DREAM has a strategic plan guiding us through 2022:
Programs: Develop three new programs by 2022 while maintaining the quality of current programming. Growth should focus on areas of diversity, quality, and affordability, across all seasons.
Governance: Grow and build an engaged board, with the support of at least three active committees each with clear annual assignments that address board growth, training, human resources, financial stability, business personal property needs, and best governance practices.
Awareness: Build our awareness program to strategically reach and grow audiences that will participate, volunteer, or provide financial resources, with a goal of a 20% increase in participants, 20% growth in volunteers, and 300% growth in annual fund donors (not in-kind) by the end of 2022.
Development: Ensure the financial stability of annual operations by 2022 through growing a comprehensive development program. Target growth of $85,000 surplus annually to maintain positive cash flow and build a reserve equal to one year of operations by Q4 of 2021. Growth will sustain current programs while embarking on a capital campaign.
