Mission: The make-a-wish foundation of colorado grants the wishes of children with life threatening medical conditions to enrich the human experience with love, strength and joy.
Programs: In fiscal year 2016-2017, we granted 264 wishes for colorado children between the ages of 2. 5 up to the age of 18. We grant the wishes of every medically eligible child in the state who is referred to us and have never denied the wish of a qualified colorado child. Since the foundation was founded in 1983, more than 5,000 children have benefited from the magic of a wish. Total program service expenses granted for the fiscal year were $4,437,877. Of this amount, $1,559,039 was contributed by various vendors who provided in-kind contributions such as travel and travel services, transportation, lodging, and other services and use of facilities to complete a child's wish. For financial statement purposes, these amounts are included as contribution revenue and granted wish expense. For form 990, however, the irs requires the $271,765 of contributed services and use of facilities be excluded from both revenue and expense.
