Dream Hunt Foundation serves children facing significant physical disabilities, serious medical conditions, life-threatening or terminal illnesses, or disadvantaged circumstances. To ensure we can provide first-time hunting experiences to as many children as possible, children who are already avid hunters or who have previously harvested a deer are not eligible for a deer hunt.

For the purpose of our program, a disadvantaged child may include one who lacks the financial means, hunting property, family resources, or equipment necessary to participate in hunting opportunities. This may also include children who do not have a parent, guardian, family member, or mentor who can introduce them to hunting and the outdoors.

Applications are reviewed individually, and eligibility is determined based on the child's overall circumstances, needs, and alignment with the Foundation's mission.

A diagnosis of ADHD, a learning disability, or another educational disorder, by itself, does not automatically qualify an applicant for the program.

Due to the limited availability of exotic hunts, priority is given to children facing significant medical, physical, or other life-altering challenges. While we carefully consider every application, some applicants may be placed on a waiting list until a suitable opportunity becomes available.
