Trust and Transparency

Trust and Transparency

As Make-A-Wish International, we are proud of the ways we manage and steward our donations. This year we have got the Charity Navigator’s 4-star rating again, we have received this rating for 14 years, meaning that we have taken the steps to show our donors and constituents that we are accountable, transparent, and financially healthy.

Wishes Waiting
Wishes Waiting
When a child is eligible for their wish to be granted, he or she is put on a waiting list. The more donations that are received, the more wishes we are able to grant. Donate now and make the wishes of children who are currently on the waiting list, like Ada, Anas and Maricielo come true.

Different Ways of Individual Support

Different Ways of Individual Support

Besides a one-time or monthly donation, there are many other ways to support. See the possibilities below

Including a Gift in your Estate Plan
You have the power to make wishes come true well beyond your lifetime. By including a gift to Make-A-Wish International in your estate plan, you help ensure we can continue our work of giving hope, strength and joy to Wish children and their families.

Each gift, no matter the size or shape, is powerful. Your solicitor can help make the choice that is right for you and your loved ones. If you have any questions or would like to discuss your intended gift with us, please email: [email protected] or call +31 35740 0800.

Donate your airmiles
Donated airline miles can help make wishes come true around the world. And the best part is that donated miles never expire! Thank you for helping grant life-changing wishes to children across the globe! Select ‘Make-A-Wish International’ when donating via Delta’s SkyWish or United’s MileagePlus programs. 

Tax Deductibility (US): The IRS recognizes award points and miles as a gift or an award from the corporation to the individual. Therefore, points and frequent flier miles donated to charity are not considered tax deductible.

Give as you shop
Use AmazonSmile and donate to us at no extra cost to you. All you have to do is click here, save AmazonSmile to your favourites and do your shopping as normal. Amazon will then automatically donate a percentage of the money you spend to us – it’s that easy! *insert Amazon Smile logo*

eBay buyers and sellers can donate to Make-A-Wish in the following ways: Buy items from sellers committed to donating all or part of the proceeds to us. Look for the charity ribbon icon in the item description when browsing for items. Or sell your own items and donate the proceeds to Make-A-Wish International.

Organize an event
Got a great fundraising idea? Charity balls, trivia nights, golf days, bake sales…every dollar raised makes more wishes come true. Whether you’re looking to challenge yourself or do something with friends, contact us to share your ideas and we’ll be in touch with fundraising tips, tools, and support to help reach your goals.
Donate goods and services
We love people and businesses who can support us in kind, giving products and services that help wishes come true. Contact us to find out more about the types of gifts we can accept.
