🎓 Young aspiring founders have big ideas, but no roadmap.
They want to change the world and graduate without drowning in debt.
But the startup ecosystem often overlooks student entrepreneurs and traditional funding doesn’t speak their language.
Thats where we come in. The Dream Chaser Changemaker Foundation (DCCM) was created to help student entrepreneurs launch social ventures AND afford their education.
Since 2017, we’ve hosted national pitch competitions for young Dream Chasers, awarding $10,000 grants that go toward both their social ventures and their tuition.
Why? Because building impact shouldn’t come at the cost of your future.
🚀 What we do at DCCM:
• Partner with universities, colleges & sponsors
• Host 5 pitch competitions per year
• Award up to $50,000 annually in non-dilutive grants
• Provide mentorship from seasoned founders & retail execs (hi 👋🏽 if youd like to join our mentors program)
• Support students as they scale their ventures beyond campus
📈 The results?
Our winners have built housing for communities affected by climate change, created tech that tackles loneliness in student populations and ensured womens safety as they move around campus, theyve created safe spaces for mental health conversations and even pivoted into human rights law.
What they needed wasn’t just money; it was belief, structure, and someone who had their back.
🧭 Want to support the next generation of purpose-driven founders? Let’s connect. Whether you’re a student, sponsor, or school - we’re building legacies, one pitch at a time.
