Non-Cash Ways to Donate to Charity This Holiday Season

Dream Foundation, the first and largest national wish-granting organization for adults in the end stages of life, is offering non-monetary ways to help those in need this holiday season. The 4-Star Charity Navigator-rated organization fulfills nearly 2,000 final dreams each year. Thirty percent – representing approximately 1,000 airline tickets for dream recipients and/or their loved ones – involve travel, including urgent bedside goodbyes, family reunions and final trips with children.

Dream Foundation enjoys charity miles programs with Alaska, Continental, Delta, and United. Mile donations – in any amount – can be made by logging on to www.dreamfoundation.org/donate. Whether it’s a donation of ten miles, 200, or 10,000, they all get banked for Dream Foundation’s dream services, and are essential to day-to-day operations. (Once the merger is finalized between Continental and United, the organization will be able to convert Continental miles to United miles.)

“We understand how important miles are to one’s own travel needs,” says Dream Foundation Founder and President, Thomas Rollerson. “Yet if each person donated just 100 miles, collectively, it would go a long, long way for the families we serve.”
