Ways To Help
For a child with a life-threatening medical condition, a wish experience can give back what the illness takes away. It can help children forget about being sick…remember how to be kids…laugh out loud…and inspire them to keep making plans for the future.
You can help grant a wish to a local child in your community. There are many ways to ensure the continued mission of granting wishes to children with life-threatening medical conditions.
Contribute money, goods or services, individually or through your company, school or organization. Individual contributions, corporate support, foundation grants and special events fund the Make-A-Wish Foundation®. The Foundation accepts the donation of securities, automobiles or real estate, and deferred gifts such as bequests, life insurance and charitable trusts. In-kind contributions of goods and services are also important.All funds raised are used to fulfill the Foundation’s mission in Central California. The Make-A-Wish Foundation does not engage in either telephone or door-to-door solicitations. Of money donated, approximately 73% of every dollar donated goes directly toward program services, and 27% pays fundraising expenses and administrative costs.
Donations are tax deductible as permitted by law.

Volunteer
Volunteering is a great way to help. We invite you to share the power of a wish®, whether you can give a few hours each month or a few days each year.
You can help make the wishes of special children come true in your local community when you become a volunteer for the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Central California. Our mission is only possible with the dedication of our volunteers.
Donate
A wish is granted every 40 minutes. Donate in honor of a loved one, become a monthly giver, and more. Help grant wishes today! We welcome all levels of donation, whether it’s a one-time gift, a monthly donation or the establishment of a matching gifts program.
You can donate by mail, online, at work, as part of a matching-gifts program, and even by purchasing select Make-A-Wish Foundation-branded products.
Sponsor
Every wish is a unique and memorable experience for the wish child, the wish family and all those who participate in the wish. And many donors say they began their support of the Make-A-Wish Foundation and its endearing mission after hearing a child’s memorable wish story.
Now you can help create more heartwarming stories for children with life-threatening medical conditions through the Make-A-Wish Foundation of America Adopt-A-Wish® program. This giving option allows donors to fund a single wish experience in its entirety.
