Non-Cash Gifts

Volunteers and cash donations are important resources for the Foundation. But there are other ways to donate and help share the power of a wish®.

In-Kind Donations

You can share the power of a wish® by donating or offering a substantial discount on items, products, or services to the Make-A-Wish Foundation®. The Foundation uses these in-kind donation for wish granting and/or fundraising events. The Make-A-Wish Foundation is able to grant thousands of wishes each year due to the generous support of in-kind donors.

Airline Miles

Because many wishes involve air travel, donating your airline frequent flier miles is a great way to help fulfill wishes. We estimate that the Foundation will need more than 1 billion miles to carry out our travel wishes.

Wish Items

When we grant a wish, we make sure wish kids have everything they need to make the experience lives up their expectations.

The Foundation often includes extras such as cameras, backpacks, photo albums and other enhancements. These extra items can make a wish kid’s day even more memorable. We accept donations of these items and more. Needs vary, so please contact your local chapter before donating.
