What We Do
Make-A-Wish® is one of the most recognizable nonprofit brands and leading wish-granting organizations in the world – serving every community in the U.S. and more than 50 countries worldwide. Headquartered in Phoenix, Ariz., Make-A-Wish America, our National Office, is instrumental in guiding wish-granting standards for all U.S. chapters, raising funds at a national level, providing legal support, driving brand awareness and establishing the overall direction for the organization.
While our National Office provides infrastructure and support, our chapters are the force bringing our mission to life – meeting wish families and making wishes come true. Together, we are a united group of diverse, inspired talent and leadership who work interdependently to create life-changing experiences for children battling critical illnesses. Locally focused on wish kids, we are having a global impact.
