1% For Dreams – Manifesting Collective Futures
I used to think a dream had to be loud to matter.
Big. Clear. Something you announce when you already know exactly what you’re doing.
But most dreams aren’t like that.
Mine weren’t. Mine showed up in practical, almost ordinary ways.
A project I wanted to start but couldn’t fund.
A class I wanted to take but couldn’t justify paying for.
Tools I needed but couldn’t afford while working two jobs.
Ideas that were real, but financially out of reach.
Maybe your dream looks like that too.
Just something you would begin tomorrow
if money wasn’t the thing holding you back.
A short film.
A design course.
A month of therapy so you can create again without breaking.
A studio membership.
Launching a tiny online shop.
Paying for child care so you can finally breathe long enough to write.
And that’s why we created 1% For Dreams.
Every time someone buys a piece from YIRU, we put aside 1%.
A growing fund that supports real people with real obstacles.
We don’t ask for polished pitches.
We don’t expect confidence.
We don’t need you to have everything figured out.
We want the truth.
What you’re trying to build. Why it matters to you.
And what small, concrete support would move you forward.
It can be equipment. It can be training. It can be therapy.
It can be rent while you finish something important.
If it helps your dream breathe, it counts.
If you feel called, you can share your dream with us:
- · Your name
- · What your dream is
- · What would help
- · Why it matters to you
Because dreams don’t fail from lack of talent.
Most of them simply run out of resources before they ever get the chance.
And if a small piece of silver can help change that,
then that’s exactly what it should do.
