Fundraising
Funding comes from individual contributions, special events, corporate donations and sponsorships, foundation grants, workplace giving programs and planned gifts. According to our Fiscal Year 2008 audit, the Make-A-Wish Foundation® of the Tri-Counties spent 90% of its revenue on wish-granting and related program expenses. Only 4% was spent on administrative costs and 6% was allocated to fundraising.
Kids For Wish Kids®
Kids For Wish Kids® is an extremely popular program for kids because it is managed by kids like you. As kids, you are responsible for forming committees, coming up with fundraising ideas, and carrying them out. Teachers and parents serve as advisors, but ownership of the group belongs solely to you and the other kids involved.
Organize an Event
Are you thinking about hosting a fundraiser or special event so that you can help grant wishes throughout the Tri-Counties? Choose the Make-A-Wish Foundation of the Tri-Counties as the beneficiary of your event and you can help grant the fondest wish of a child with a life-threatening medical condition.
Events are organized by outside parties to benefit Make-A-Wish Foundation of the Tri-Counties. Event sponsors vary from individuals, companies and corporations, kids groups, community groups and just about anyone who has a great idea for a fundraiser. Some of the unique and special community events that have been organized include golf tournaments, motorcycle rides, car shows, softball tournaments, bowling tournaments and silent auctions.
