Dreams Over Dollars™ is a civic research and accountability foundation that strengthens communities by rebuilding the records institutions overlook. We use data analysis, public-records investigation, and systems mapping to reveal how policies, corporations, and agencies shape local outcomes. When information is missing, we reconstruct it. When communities lack visibility, we build the archive.

Our work blends public-interest research with practical design: transparency tools that track institutional behavior, documented histories that protect overlooked families and neighborhoods, and community-wide outreach systems that help residents understand their rights and access resources. By aligning grants, partners, and data-driven strategy, we help cities repair gaps that traditional institutions ignore.
 

We work with people and communities who want to turn structural neglect into long-term benefit. If your mission aligns, reach out.
