Dream Chaser Change Maker

Foundation

We build the people who are building the future

Founded in Toronto, Canada, The Dream Chaser Change Maker Foundation® (DCCM) cultivates and connects purpose-driven student-entrepreneurs who are creating solutions for people, planet and shared prosperity. We are working toward a world where entrepreneurship is a pathway to human flourishing, collective wellbeing and systemic change.

While most support for young entrepreneurs focuses on the idea or the venture, we focus on the human behind the venture. We develop the person who wants to change the world - equipping them with the mindset, community and tools to grow sustainably and lead with impact, no matter what they are working on. Because strong founders build stronger ventures.

Our students are Dream Chasers. Our alumni and mentors are Change Makers. Together, we are building a community of people who believe they can change the world, and are equipped to do it.

We build the people who are building the future.
