Managing Our Funds

Make-A-Wish Oklahoma finances endeavors through corporate sponsorships, special events, foundation grants and individual contributions. However, we do not solicit funds by telephone and receive no federal or state funding. As a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization, all contributions are deductible to the extent permitted by law. Our financial statements are audited locally by CliftonLarsonAllen LLP. 

At Make-A-Wish, we take our responsibility for the monies donated to our cause very seriously and are pleased to confirm that according to the fiscal year 2023 audit results, Make-A-Wish Foundation of Oklahoma spent 71.5% of every dollar on wish granting and related program expenses. Only 14.1% of every dollar was spent on management and general costs and 14.3% was allocated to fundraising. For full financial details please review our most recent Audited Financial Statements or our latest 990.  

We are proud to be a BBB Oklahoma Accredited Charity Seal Holder, having met all 20 BBB Standards for Charity Accountability.

Our Commitment to Diversity

The mission of Make-A-Wish Oklahoma is to create life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses. We are committed to ensuring every child, family member, volunteer, staff member, intern, and supporter that interacts with us can be their true and authentic self, regardless of race, ethnicity, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, physical and mental ability, faith, religion, age, or any other aspect which makes them unique. We serve a diverse group of children and families, and we strive to make sure each feels seen, heard, and understood—not only through our own actions but by filling our organization with people from all walks of life. We not only welcome differences, we celebrate them. Every person involved in wish granting has a part to play to promote inclusion. We understand that there will always be work to be done, and we will continue to create an environment of diversity, equity, justice, and inclusion so that we can equitably grant the wish of every eligible child.
