Program FAQs
-
Yes! We have a #ChangeMaker program, where you can sign up to donate any amount monthly, quarterly, and even annually! You can register here.
-
When you donate to a child’s campaign, your full donation is put towards our campaign’s program to help make that child’s dream come true until the goal is met. Once the campaign goal is met, any donations thereafter are donated to our Dream Bank, to help more children and fund our other programs. Every year, Campaign One At A Time strives to improve its efficiency. Our goal is to have an overall efficiency of 85%. You can request our most recent financial statement through our contact page.
-
If the campaign you donated to involves a child who is unable to go on their dream trip, due to illness or unforeseen circumstances, or, in the unfortunate event of the child's passing, your donation will be used in their honor to help another child fulfill their dream, ensuring your contribution continues to make a meaningful impact.
-
No, our organization does not provide direct financial assistance to families. Donations are specifically used for items/products directly correlated to making dream trips possible for children, which is the core mission of our organization. Legally, we are not able to distribute cash or financial aid, as it falls outside the scope of our mission.

Thank you so much for making a donation! We accept payments via VENMO, PayPal, through our website, and through Facebook & Instagram. If you donate to a specific fundraiser on Facebook, your name will show when clicking on that specific Facebook fundraiser; same with Instagram, but unfortunately if you donate through our website, the technology is not connected to social media, so there is no way for your donation to show on any other platform. Rest assured, your donation is going where you want it to. If you ever have a question about your donation, please email support@campaignoaat.org with a copy of your receipt/Donor ID Number.

Our website site update is cumulative of all fundraisers across all platforms and is the most accurate reflection of campaign updates.
We do not control the social media platform fundraisers such as Facebook and are unable to update the amount reflected there. In the interest of transparency, we do add the amount raised on Facebook and Instagram as well as other social platforms to the total number reflected on our website.
Campaign pages on our website are updated daily Monday through Friday between 9 am and 12 pm PST.
