Donate Stock to Make-A-Wish International
Your charitable giving just got easier! Donating stock is an effective and tax efficient way to help you achieve your philanthropic goals, and help so many children with critical illnesses worldwide.
Making a stock donation to support Make-A-Wish International enables us to create strength, hope and transformation in a child and a community. When children are living with a critical illness, so much of normal childhood is taken away from them. A wish gives a child the opportunity to look outside their illness and gives hope back to them and their family. Support Make-A-Wish International by making a charitable gift in stock. We accept donations in publicly traded, domestic common stocks.
Make-A-Wish Foundation ® International is an Arizona nonprofit corporation exempt from federal income tax under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Federal Identification Number (EIN): 86-0726985
