Kisa Heyer - Dream Foundation - Who qualifies and how?

Tune in to Help4HD LIVE! On Thursday, April 27th, 2017 to hear from Kisa Heyer, Chief Executive Officer of Dream Foundation.

Kisa Heyer directs the operations of Dream Foundation, the only national dream-granting organization for terminally-ill adults, including programming, development and staff functions, and management of the Board of Directors.

Since her appointment as Executive Director in 2013 and later as Chief Executive Officer in 2016, Heyer has focused on expanding the availability of the services Dream Foundation provides by partnering with the hospice and palliative care industry to fulfill the needs of patients.

Additionally, Heyer has worked to secure corporate partnerships that enable Dream Foundation to fulfill the dreams of thousands of terminally-ill adults each year, including partnerships with Genentech, the Amedisys Foundation, and Southwest Airlines, to name a few.

Heyer is trained as a CPA with nearly ten years of experience in international fixed income operations and management for several investment banks in London. Her leadership helps ensure that Dream Foundation continues to maintain its fiscal responsibility and accountability and maintain Charity Navigator’s four-star rating—its highest—for sound fiscal management, ensuring its donors and partners that their investment will be used wisely.

Heyer is an active member of the local volunteer community, including tenure as Board President of Ganna Walska Lotusland, a Santa Barbara-based nonprofit. There, she actively participated in management operations, long-range planning, development, governance, and finance efforts, and was elected as a Lifetime Honorary Trustee upon completion of her term.

We will discuss who qualifies, how one qualifies, and what is provided when a Dream is granted.
