Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

One Simple Wish empowers you to restore hope and happiness to children impacted by foster care, abuse and neglect.

  • Wish granting is One Simple Wish (OSW)'s core program and offers caring individuals a way to directly affect the life of a child in foster care. Through our website potential donors are able to browse hundreds of wishes posted on behalf of the children and select which wish to grant. The wishes typically cost from $5 to $500, which allows almost anyone to find a wish that speaks to both their heart as well as to their budget. Moreover, OSW recognizes that donors have a desire to know exactly where their contributions go and therefore offers the opportunity for them to give more efficiently and effectively. When a donor grants a wish, roughly 90% of the donation is directed towards fulfillment of that specific wish and 100% of that donation goes towards furthering the mission of the organization. During the fiscal year, thanks to the generosity of thousands of people OSW granted over 28,000 wishes.

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.
