Mission and programs · 2024

• 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.

As filed on the 2024 return. The filer continues this part on Schedule O, which is not shown here.

Officers and directors · 2024

As listed in Part VII of the 2024 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

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. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.
