Make-A-Wish Greater Virginia recognizes donors through the following gift societies: Constellation Society, Cornerstone Society, Fairy Godmother Society, and our Legacy of Wishes Society. To explore how your gift can make a transformational impact for Virginia children battling critical illnesses, please contact Jessica Woodyard, Director of Development, by emailing [email protected] or by calling 757-334-0898.

The Constellation Society is a new society made up of prominent and respected leaders in their respective industries and communities. Members are those supporters making an annual gift of $50,000 or greater. As a member, you can make a profound impact in the lives of children and families in our community and enjoy exclusive social events and other benefits.

Membership in the Cornerstone Society provides the opportunity to directly support making wishes come true, fund unrestricted giving, or assist a specific area within our chapter. By making a five-year pledge, members of our Cornerstone Society help ensure that wish kids and their families continue experiencing the power of a wish. The Cornerstone Society recognizes donors at six levels of annual giving: 

• Partner Level ($1,000 annually | $5,000 over five years) 
• Star Level ($2,000 annually | $10,000 over five years) 
• Hope Level ($4,000 annually | $20,000 over five years) 
• Strength Level ($6,000 annually | $30,000 over five years) 
• Joy Level ($8,000 annually | $40,000 over five years) 
• Transformation Level ($10,000 annually | $50,000 over five years) 

The Fairy Godmother Society was founded and inspired by our W.I.S.H. Circle Honorees, who have raised funds through our statewide W.I.S.H. Circle events. Membership is pledge-based and requires a five-year commitment. Funds raised through our Fairy Godmother Society support W.I.S.H. Circle events through providing matching support to incentivize honorees and/or helping to grow the event’s size, scope, and impact.   

• Crystal Star Members ($2,000 annually | $10,000 over five years) 
• Blue Star Members ($5,000 annually | $25,000 over five years) 
• Silver Star Members ($10,000 annually | $50,000 over five years) 
• Gold Star Members ($20,000 annually | $100,000 over five years)

There's nothing more powerful than leaving a lasting gift of hope. The Legacy of Wishes Society was founded to recognize donors who inform us of the inclusion of Make-A-Wish Greater Virginia in their personal estate plans. A planned gift, left through a bequest, retirement plan, life insurance policy or other means, ensures your legacy lives on through wishes — enhancing the lives of children with critical illnesses. The society is designed to be inclusive and does not require donors to provide a copy of their estate plans.
