Mission and programs · 2023

Mission

Together, we create life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses.

  • The mission of Make-A-Wish Greater Pennsylvania and West Virginia is to create life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses. In fiscal year 2024, Make-A-Wish continued with a moratorium on all international travel and cruise wishes which typically account for about 40 wishes a year. These wishes will be granted in fiscal year 2025. The Chapter was able to grant 500 wishes in the fiscal year ending August 31, 2024. Wishes included 47 gift wishes, 45 shopping sprees, 262 trips to a Disney Resort, 12 play sets or playhouses and 33 celebrity wishes. Unique wishes include Coles wish for Steelers season tickets, Amedeos wish for a Flemish rabbit, Waylons wish to visit Salem, MA, at Halloween, Lilly-Ryans wish to be a dress designer, Conners wish for a Snap-on garage makeover and Madisons wish for a she-shed art studio. Make-A-Wish Greater Pennsylvania and West Virginia has met or exceeded all benchmarks of excellence set forth by its national organization, Make-A-Wish America. These include liquidity, wish growth, wish turnaround, cost per dollar raised and public support growth. The chapter has placed at the top of chapter performance for the last 15+ years. in its category (Large Chapters). Because of its management excellence, the chapter has been given five additional territories to manage by Make-A-Wish America, the first in 2000. The chapter is now helping to plan and finance wishes at other chapters with large wish pipelines to help reduce the wait time for wish chidren and their families.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
