Through planned giving, you can create a legacy that will impact the lives of wish children for years to come.

By including the Make-A-Wish Foundation^® of Massachusetts and Rhode Island in your estate plans, you can provide the resources necessary to grant inspiring wishes for children now and in the future.

Named in honor of our very first local wish child, The Colleen O’Brien Legacy Society recognizes individuals and families who have thoughtfully included our organization in their will or estate plans. To join the society, simply name the Make-A-Wish Foundation^® of Massachusetts and Rhode Island in your will or estate plans and notify us. Through the generosity of Society members, we look forward to granting meaningful wishes for local children for many years to come.

You, too, can secure your legacy of giving, and it’s simpler than you may think.

We have partnered with FreeWill, making it easy for you to create an official legal will.
