Campaign One At A Time ("the Organization") is committed to a fair, transparent, and mission-aligned process for selecting children to participate in our DREAM-granting programs. This policy ensures that all applicants are evaluated based on consistent criteria while prioritizing those in greatest need.

Beneficiary Eligibility & Selection Policy:

Eligibility Criteria - to qualify for consideration, an applicant must meet the following criteria:

• Applicant must be under the age of 18 at the time of application and dream fulfillment.

  • To be eligible for campaign participation, the applicant must be under 18 years old at the time of application and at the time of fulfillment. If the participant turns 18 before the campaign goal is met, OAAT will assess eligibility based on partners’ policies and funding availability. In cases where the campaign cannot proceed due to age restrictions, any raised funds will be allocated to the DREAM BANK to support other eligible campaigns.

• Have a life-threatening or severe chronic medical condition as verified by a licensed physician.

• Have a legal guardian provide written consent for participation.

Program Limitations:

• The Organization reserves the right to approve or deny any request based on available resources, feasibility, and alignment with the Organization’s mission.

• DREAM experiences do not include monetary gifts or direct financial assistance.

• If a beneficiary’s medical condition changes significantly after selection, the Organization may need to modify or reschedule the experience.

Partnership & Sponsorship:

• The Organization only partners with companies and sponsors aligned with its mission and values.

• Any corporate partnerships must be approved by the leadership team to ensure ethical alignment.

Third-Party Fundraising & Campaign Representation:

• Any independent fundraising on behalf of the Organization must receive prior approval to ensure alignment with branding and mission guidelines.

• Individuals or groups raising funds must disclose their relationship with the Organization to avoid misrepresentation.

• Unauthorized fundraising efforts may result in disassociation from the Organization.

Assumption of Risk & Voluntary Participation:

Participation in any Organization-sponsored event, trip, or experience is entirely voluntary. By participating, beneficiaries, families, volunteers, and any other involved parties acknowledge that they are assuming all risks associated with these activities, including but not limited to:

• If a child can no longer attend indefinitely due to medical complications or passing, the Organization is not obligated to provide a refund or alternative assistance, though we will make every effort to offer guidance and support.
