About the Foundation

Our Mission

Founded in 1996 as a 501c(3), Non-Profit, Public Charity, Kristi Yamaguchi's Always Dream Foundation was established with one purpose in mind: to support organizations that have a positive influence on children.

Since its inception, the Always Dream Foundation has purchased computers for an after-school mentoring program, provided 'shopping sprees' for underprivileged children to purchase back-to-school clothing, organized Holiday parties for children?s shelters and sponsored summer camp for kids with disabilities.

Our continuing goal is to find innovative ways to provide funding for a diverse range of programs designed to inspire and embrace the hopes and dreams of children and adolescents.

In order to support our funding activities, the Foundation produces several special events on an annual basis. Additional income comes from the development of corporate partnerships, allocation of endorsements and appearance fees, and individual contributions.
