As we close the books on 2025, one thing is crystal clear: dreams thrive when community shows up — and you showed up in powerful, generous, and deeply meaningful ways.

Our year‑end fundraising initiatives were more than just campaigns. They were a collective statement of belief in young women with big dreams and bold potential. Because of you, underserved women with big dreams — and even bigger potential — are going to be stepping into 2026 with greater access, stronger support systems, and renewed confidence in what’s possible.

Our incredible crypto supporters once again stepped up in a big way, helping fuel the dreams of women building and leading. Your crypto donations are transformational. By meeting women where they are and supporting them in future-forward industries, you’re helping ensure that the next generation of tech, finance, and digital creation includes women at every level.

From every donation and match to every stream, share, and cheer — thank you for believing in young women’s dreams.

Dreams Come True: Investing in the Future of Women

At the heart of our year‑end giving was our Dreams Come True campaign — an initiative that fuels access, opportunity, and community for women from under‑resourced backgrounds.

Dreams Come True helps women:

• pursue an education,
• access critical career opportunities,
• receive mentorship and community, and
• build a future that uplifts everyone around her.

Your support is an investment in her potential — and a commitment to a world where every talented young woman has the resources she needs to bring her dreams to life. 

Stream The Halls: When Creators Came Together for Impact

One of the most joyful highlights of our year‑end campaigns came from our BroadcastHER community for gamers, streamers and content creators through Stream The Halls — a one‑of‑a‑kind fundraising event fueled by women creators and streamers.

Nearly 100 creators came together for a 7‑day raid train decoration contest, transforming their streams into festive, creative spaces for good. The result?

• 🎯 A $10,000 fundraising goal obliterated
• 🚀 A stretch goal surpassed
• 💰 Over $12,000 raised to support women’s dreams

The top three decorated streams also received special prizes!

If you missed the magic (or want to relive it), you can watch highlights from Stream The Halls!

To every creator who streamed, donated, raided, decorated, or encouraged their community to give, thank you.

Leadership That Leads by Example

This year’s success was also made possible by leaders who didn’t just advocate for the mission — they invested in it.

We want to extend special thanks to:

• Lauren Bell, member of our Board of Directors, for her $1,000 donation match, inspiring others to give and doubling impact in real time.
• Caitlin Shurilla, member of our Leadership Council, for contributing $1,000+ in donations to creators during Stream The Halls

Your leadership reminds us what’s possible when generosity and action go hand in hand.

Because of You

Thanks to your collective generosity, we raised over $20,000 during our 2025 year‑end fundraising initiatives.

That number represents more than dollars raised. It represents:

• dreams pursued,
• opportunities unlocked,
• confidence restored, and
• futures changed.

As we step into 2026, we do so energized, grateful, and more committed than ever to supporting the next generation of women leaders.

From all of us at 1,000 Dreams Fund — thank you for making dreams come true. The future is brighter because of you.
