Birmingham, Alabama · A foundation taking shape

Dreams don’t all look the same.

Dreams are the pathway to success. Sometimes the first step is a book in a child’s hands. Sometimes it’s a safe place, a chance to begin again, or the simple relief of being accepted as you are. Behind every dream is a person quietly hoping life can be better. Dream in Many Colors exists to help that hope find its way forward.

Our approach

Many dreams. One community.

✦ The heart behind it ✦

For Linda. Inspired by generosity.

Dream in Many Colors was founded in memory of Linda, whose place in founder Shaun’s life helped shape the heart of this work. Dolly Parton’s lifelong example of generosity is another inspiration: a reminder of what can happen when a dream is met with action.

With roots in the Birmingham area and support from GLAM Beauty Boutique, the foundation is being built to serve many kinds of dreams and many kinds of people.

Our journey is just beginning. State and federal filings have been submitted and are awaiting a response. More details about projects and ways to participate will be shared as they’re ready.
