Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Children & Youth, Children & Youth Services, Gift Distribution, Human Services
Mission: Wishes & More enhances the life of a child fighting a terminal or life-threatening condition by providing extraordinary experiences...and more.
Results: We have granted wishes to over 1,700 families since 2005.
Target demographics: a child fighting terminal or life-threatening condition, ages range from birth to 19 years old.
Direct beneficiaries per year: 174 children
Geographic areas served: Minnesota and bordering states
Programs: Scholarship of Hope® - In addition to the wish, we present each “wish kid” with a certificate for a Scholarship of Hope®. This is a promise to them that we believe in their future; so much that when they graduate high school and move onto college, we will be there to support them with a $1,000 scholarship. Memorials (A financial gift) - We also stand apart by providing a gift of funds to the parents when a child dies without experiencing a wish. Upon authorized notification, we immediately prepare a check to help them with whatever needs they have whether it be making final arrangements or memorializing their child in some special way. Wish Program - Our goal is to provide each individual child with their special individual wish, serving kids up to age 19 in Minnesota and our bordering states. We believe that every child has a wish, even 18-year-olds that are still in high school and newborns who are considered too young by other organizations to have wishes.
