DreamBank.org is a new model for gift giving that helps to fulfill dreams, save waste and support charities.

Fulfill Dreams
With DreamBank, you post a “dream gift” on the site. Rather than family and friends having to spend time and money looking for the “less than perfect gift” for you, they simply contribute to your dream gift – whether that’s a special trip, a class, a piece of electronics, etc.  (Anyone want to help fund my new camera or my degree? 😉 )  It’s a great way to save towards something that you really want, reduce the stress of holiday shopping, and facilitate the giving of not-so-tangible gifts – giving you more time to focus on what’s really important during the holiday season.  For those families where group gifts are already common, this is an easy way to facilitate the various contributions.

Save Waste
Because people contribute to your dream gift on the website instead of buying “stuff” you may not want or need, you spare the planet from the manufacturing, packaging and shipping of unnecessary goods.

Support Charities
DreamBank’s business model includes the distribution of a percentage of revenue (as voted by the Dreamers), to various international charities such as African Wildlife Foundation, CARE, Doctors Without Borders, Global Greengrants Fund, Kiva MicroFinance and Save the Children. By using DreamBank, you can also help make life a little easier for those in need.
