DreamCatchers Foundation (DCF) is a Costa Rica–based nonprofit empowering children and youth in Nosara through programs that prevent violence and substance abuse while fostering creativity, empathy, and community resilience. Their innovative model combines art, sports, psychological support, and the pedagogy of tenderness to build critical soft skills in vulnerable communities facing socioeconomic challenges.

In 2024 alone, DCF ran over 880 workshops across seven schools, reaching thousands of students, teachers, and families. Their work spans ballet, music, capoeira, surfing, visual arts, and mental health interventions, creating safe, inclusive environments for youth to grow and thrive.

5D Ventures proudly supported DCF through philanthropic funding, helping expand its core educational and cultural programs. In addition, 5D funded a water tank project facilitated by DCF in the community of Santa Marta, directly addressing local infrastructure needs and improving access to clean water for children and their families.

Together, we share a vision of building safer, more equitable communities — where all young people have the opportunity to dream, heal, and lead.
