Seven Charities,“Ordinary people doing extraordinary things to help others.”
Shawn Dawson, Founder
Join the 2027 Inca Trail Trek
Our mission
Climb with purpose
Since 2009, the Dream Mountains Foundation has turned the world's great treks into fundraising for charity. Each Dream Team is a group of everyday people who train together, travel together and take on Kilimanjaro, Everest Base Camp or Machu Picchu. Every climber chooses a charity, raises $5,000 or more for it, and pays their own way, so every dollar raised goes to the cause.
The 2027 Dream Team will be led by Brett Starke, a four-time Dream Team trekker.
Raised since 2009
$1,287,723
raised by more than 100 Dream Mountains alumni, with all funds going directly to the charities.
