We committed 2024 to empowering youth, from infancy to independence.
Each generation is responsible to make a brighter future for the next. 80% of our donations in 2024 were dedicated to youth -- early childcare, tutoring teens, resourcing students, and getting first-time voters to the polls. 20% of our grants responded to urgent needs - homelessness relief, reproductive healthcare, and crisis support.

In 2024 we committed to funding a better future for our youth. From early childhood education to activating first-time voters, we focused on improving outcomes for young people across the country.
Contributed $25,990.60 to youth wellness & pride
This summer we devoted our flower funds to teen wellness. We teamed up with 6 different grassroots nonprofits to fund positive enrichment outside of school. From after and out-of-school activities, alternatives to violence, and safe spaces for queer and trans youth, we help young people access the care they need.
Contributed $30,366.97 to back to school support

Contributed $21,000 to youth civic engagement

Fighting Fascism with Flowers
"We use beautiful flowers to advance causes of justice & charity in our community."
Resistance comes in many forms. Maybe least suspecting of all, flowers. However our happiness and collective expressions of joy can sometimes be our most meaningful act of resistance.
For us, business protest isn't new. And comes as no surprise to our loyal customers.
In 2012, we started the first social justice flower brand in the country.
In 2017, we went viral for speaking against white supremacy.
In 2022, we reached $1M donated to grassroots nonprofits.
Standing shoulder to shoulder with the 230 local charities we've funded over the years, we won't stick to flowers or shut up & design. From funding safe access to abortion, to turning our call centers into canvassing hotlines, or marching with Moms against classroom gun violence, Flowers for Dreams is getting revved up to do a lot more than simply design beautiful blooms in 2025.
Thank you for standing, speaking, sharing, and spending with us to protect fairness, freedom, and the most vulnerable among us.
