DreamMakers
Join us on September 12th, 2026, for DreamMakers, SV[e]F's annual fundraiser and awards celebration. This is a crucial night to change what's possible for students furthest from access and opportunity, and a celebration of the students, teachers, college mentors, and districts partners who make this work possible.
About DreamMakers
Over 27 years ago, SV[e]F set out to change what's possible for students furthest from access and opportunity. Today, we're the largest education nonprofit in Silicon Valley and have provided over 79,000 students with equitable access to STEM education.
Through programs like Elevate [Math], [CS] Innovate, the Eastside Education Initiative, STEM Leadership Institute, and ASSETs, we put real tools in students' hands. From the confidence to tackle challenging math concepts to the coding skills to push innovation, we spend every day supporting students toward college and careers.
DreamMakers, SV[e]F's Annual fundraiser and awards celebration, is where that work gets fueled. Every ticket, sponsorship, and dollar raised goes directly toward sustaining and growing these programs. DreamMakers is more than a fundraiser, it's where we come together to highlight the people making it happen, such as our Student, Teacher, College Mentor, and District Partner of the Year.
