Managing Our Funds

The Make-A-Wish Foundation® is proud of the way it manages and safeguards the generous contributions it receives from individual donors, corporations and other organizations.

It is so hard for me to explain how I felt when I was told my wish was going to come true. I was so excited and happy. Having someone tell you something like that makes you forget for a minute that you are actually sick with a life-threatening
illness.

— Demi, Wish Kid

Seventy-eight percent of the revenue the Make-A-Wish Foundation receives is allotted to program services. This percentage well exceeds the standard upheld by organizations that monitor the work of charities.

The annual report, audited financial statements, and IRS 990 forms are available in PDF format.
