Where Equity Comes True.
What is iDREAM?
Founded in 2023, iDREAM is a national non-profit organization that empowers BIPOC and traditionally underserved communities to find and amplify their voice, through Media.
We leverage our influence in Canadian media to create impact initiatives and media advertising grants for deserving applicants in art, entrepreneurship, film, music, and sport.
We provide strategic guidance on how to effectively utilize the secured media resources to maximize impact. This includes advising on content creation, messaging, and the optimal distribution channels to reach the intended audiences.
Our role is not just about securing media but also about ensuring that the media is used in a way that truly benefits the recipients and aligns with our mission to elevate underrepresented voices. Through these efforts, we are able to offer awardees a comprehensive media package that significantly enhances their visibility and opportunities for growth.
