Dream Team rocked the spring application period!

Here at Macdonald Family Charity we conduct two application periods - one in the spring and one in the fall. The spring application period just finished up on Tuesday, and everyone worked really hard to send 16 applicants to the Board of Directors for their approval. The Dream Team is made up of volunteers who give of their time by helping us with the selection process. Their job starts at the beginning of the application process, this time on April 15, with promoting the charity. They get into the community and let people know we're looking for kids to grant dreams to. From there, they review each of the applications we receive. They are able to do this on their own time by logging on to our secure website that has a password on each application. From there, the committee gets together to determine if there are any applicants that are automatic yes', which kids to interview, and any that are no's. The committee then conducts interviews of the families they deem necessary, and this process takes about 2 weeks. From there, the committee meets one last time to make final selections. This go around we had 3 applications go right to the board, and then 13 applications that required interviews and are now a yes. It's an exciting time to begin to dream along with these kids. The Dream Team was absolutely amazing this go around - way to go, and thanks to each and every one of you for your hard work!
