Our financial statements are audited locally by CliftonLarsonAllen LLP.Â
At Make-A-Wish, we take our responsibility for the funds donated very seriously and are pleased to confirm that according to the fiscal year 2023 audit results, Make-A-Wish Foundation of Missouri & Kansas spent 72% of every dollar on wish granting and related program expenses. Only 17.5% was spent on fundraising and 10.5% was allocated to management and general costs.
