The Dream Factory is a national children's wish-granting organization headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky. The Dream Factory grants dreams to chronically and critically ill children ages 3 through 18 in areas where our chapters are located. The Dream Factory, Inc., grants the dreams of children who have been diagnosed with critical and chronic illnesses and are 3 through 18 years of age. We serve children with chronic conditions as well and critical illnesses because we believe children with significant chronic conditions suffer physically and emotionally as well. Founded in Hopkinsville, Kentucky in 1980, The Dream Factory nationally has granted thousands of dreams in it's 30-year history. Having no paid staff at the chapter level, we depend on very dedicated volunteers in 31 chapters across the country to raise funds, arrange dream trips and procure special items for children in their own communities. The Dream Factory's goal is provide hope, inspiration and happiness to seriously ill children and their families.
