Activities or mission (Part I)

TOGETHER, WE CREATE LIFE-CHANGING WISHES FOR CHILDREN WITH CRITICAL ILLNESSES. SERVING CHILDREN IN OREGON AND CLARK COUNTY, WASHINGTON, THE FOUNDATION IS AN INDEPENDENT OPERATING CHAPTER OF MAKE-A-WISH FOUNDATION OF AMERICA.

  • IT IS THE FOUNDING PRINCIPLE OF OUR MISSION TO GRANT THE WISH OF EVERY ELIGIBLE CHILD IN OUR COMMUNITY, BETWEEN THE AGES OF 2 1/2 AND 18. A WISH COME TRUE CAN HELP GIVE LOCAL KIDS THE STRENGTH TO COMPLY WITH THEIR MEDICAL TREATMENTS, AND THE COURAGE TO FIGHT OR EVEN OVERCOME THEIR ILLNESS. EACH WISH IS AS UNIQUE AND SPECIAL AS THE CHILD. WHETHER THAT'S TO MEET THEIR FAVORITE DISNEY HEROES, EXPERIENCE THE BRIGHT LIGHTS OF BROADWAY, OR ESCAPE TO A TROPICAL PARADISE, WE STRIVE TO DELIVER HOPE DURING EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TIMES AND CREATE JOYFUL, LIFE-CHANGING EXPERIENCES FOR EVERY CHILD AND ALL WHO SUPPORT THEM IN THEIR FIGHT. IN THE LAST FISCAL YEAR, THE MAKE-A-WISH FOUNDATION OF OREGON GRANTED 285 LOCAL WISHES TO CHILDREN BATTLING CRITICAL ILLNESSES. THE COST OF WISHES GRANTED DURING THE FISCAL YEAR WAS $3,714,132. INCLUDED IN THIS AMOUNT IS $1,060,905 CONTRIBUTED BY VARIOUS VENDORS WHO PROVIDED CONTRIBUTIONS OF SERVICES OR USE OF FACILITIES TO COMPLETE A CHILD'S WISH. FOR AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENT PURPOSES THIS AMOUNT IS INCLUDED AS CONTRIBUTION REVENUE AND DIRECT WISH COST EXPENSE. PER IRS RULES, THIS AMOUNT IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE FORM 990. THE IRS REQUIRES THAT CONTRIBUTED SERVICES AND USE OF FACILITIES BE EXCLUDED FROM BOTH REVENUE AND EXPENSES.

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.
