Major gifts help us grow, dream bigger, say “yes” to more wishes, and make lasting change possible for thousands of children and young adults each year. Whether you want to create a sustainable gift towards a category of wishes, create a legacy gift, or support our mission in a special way, your generosity brings joy and connection where it’s needed most.

Help sustain a category of wishes with a Wish Fund

Wish Funds support specific types of wishes — such as education, housing, celebrations, or self-care — so that whenever a new wish comes in, we can grant it right away. Wish Funds can be named in honor of your family, company, or someone you love, and we’ll keep you updated on the incredible impact your fund is making.

Example categories include:

• Education & Employment - Each year over $450,000 wishes supporting education are submitted. Help this category grow with a major gift.
• Essentials - Each year, nearly $900,000 in essential needs are submitted as wishes. Help these needs be filled more quickly with a major gift.
• Health & Wellness - Consider a major gift towards the nearly $300,000 health-related wishes that are received and know you are making a direct impact on someone’s wellness.
