Corporate Giving

Our corporate sponsors help make wishes possible for local children with critical illnesses. Through innovative consumer-facing campaigns, cause marketing programs, generous financial contributions and mission-critical in-kind support, life-changing wishes are being granted right here in your community. 

For more information, please contact [email protected] 

Your annual commitment will help make every wish come true, giving children with critical illnesses experiences of hope and joy when they need it most. You will also join a select group of philanthropic businesses who help us innovate rapidly to grant wishes in new ways now – and into the future. The annual corporate partnership opportunity allows partners to find the right giving and engagement level for their business. 

Make-A-Wish is a beloved charity with a strong brand and a mission that appeals to a broad audience.

Wishmakers at Work is the Make-A-Wish^® workplace giving program that enables employees to plan and coordinate fundraising programs to help grant wishes. 
 
By introducing a Wishmakers at Work program at your company to benefit Make-A-Wish, you would be doing more than just a nice thing – you would be making work more purposeful and helping change the lives of everyone involved in wish experiences, forever. 
 
Social responsibility plays an increasingly important role in advancing companies’ strategic business objectives and building goodwill among employees. Employees want to know that their employer cares about the communities in which it operates, and that it is committed to making a measurable difference for those who live and work in those areas.
