The BraveGang Dream Fund
Do it scared. We've got you.
Introducing the BraveGang Dream Fund
A community-powered fund helping real people take the brave step they’ve been putting off.
Why This Fund Exists
There was a time when showing up for the smallest things felt hard.
Before cliff diving, Molly struggled deeply with anxiety. Doing something that scared her (stepping onto that cliff) didn’t just change her sport. It changed her life.
It taught her that she could move through fear. That she could survive hard moments. That bravery isn’t about being fearless; it’s about showing up anyway.
Now, she wants that for you.
Because sometimes, one brave decision can change everything.
How It Works
- Apply. Submit your story and tell us what you want to do, why it scares you, how it could impact your life, and how much support you need.
- We select. We award multiple recipients based on impact, authenticity, and courage. Every submission is read by a real person.
- You take the leap. Funds go directly toward your brave goal. And if you’re willing, we’ll share your story with a community that’s rooting for you.

How the Fund Gets Funded
1) Merchandise promo codes! Every competition weekend for Molly in the 2026 season, BraveGang releases special promo codes on merchandise. Every purchase made with those codes goes directly into the Dream Fund.
So every hoodie, every tee, every order becomes:
A contribution. A story. Someone else’s brave moment.
Promo codes for competition weekends will be visible on the BraveGang store a few days before each competition and on the BraveGang Instagram channel.
2) Direct donations. If you want to give directly to the fund, please feel free! We will ensure it reaches the person who needs it! 💖 We have set the donation amount to $5, please add as many $5 donations as you’d like to your order.
What We Look For
We don’t care how big or polished your goal is. We care that it’s real.
- Impact: Will this genuinely change something for you?
- Authenticity: Is this your real story, in your real words?
- Courage: Are you actually scared? Good. Apply anyway.
Our mission is to turn bravery into action.
The BraveGang Dream Fund exists to support individuals in taking meaningful, courageous steps toward growth, healing, and self-discovery. We believe that doing something brave — even something small — can change the way you see yourself. And no one should have to do that alone.

- Who can apply? Anyone. There are no age restrictions, no gender restrictions, no sport requirements, and no minimum follower count. Just a real story and a real goal.
- How much funding is available? We award multiple recipients per round. The maximum funding per recipient is $ 1,000. We’re transparent that this is community-funded; amounts may vary by round.
- Is this a registered charity? No. The BraveGang Dream Fund is not a registered charity. Donations are not tax-deductible. 100% of funds raised go directly to supporting recipients. This is about community support, not charity status.

- Does my story have to be about sports? Not at all. Physical goals, mental health journeys, creative projects, life changes: all of it counts. If it scares you and it matters to you, it belongs here.
- Will my story be shared publicly? Only with your consent. We ask in the application whether you’re open to sharing. We will always contact you before anything is published.
