Spotlight on Make-A-Wish Foundation

Make-A-Wish FoundationNext in our series of posts about Charitocracy nominees, we have Make-A-Wish Foundation nominated by donor IrishSwede.

Tens of thousands of volunteers, donors and supporters advance the Make-A-Wish® vision to grant the wish of every child diagnosed with a life-threatening medical condition. In the United States and its territories, on average, a wish is granted every 35 minutes. We believe a wish experience can be a game-changer. This one belief guides us and inspires us to grant wishes that change the lives of the kids we serve.
