In fiscal year 2016-2017, the foundation granted 71 wishes to south dakota children. The foundation also assisted with the wishes of four children visiting south dakota from another state. Total wishes granted for the fiscal year were $814,696. Of this amount, $231,967 was contributed by various vendors who provided in-kind contributions to assist with the wishes granted.
as part of the national organization's wish fulfillment fund, chapters may apply for funds that have been donated by other chapters to underwrite the costs of wishes. Under this program, the foundation supported the make-a-wish foundation of alabama by providing them each a $50,000 grant. Chapters who assist with the organization and granting of wishes from other chapters are paid a fee for service called the wish assist fee.
