The Make-A-Wish Wisconsin's mission is 'together, we create life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses'.
Wish Granters work in teams of two alongside Make-A-Wish staff to ensure every eligible child’s wish comes true. In-person and virtual options available. They meet with the Wish Child and their family to determine the child’s most heartfelt wish ideas, plan special 'Wish Boosts' while MAW staff works to make their wish come true, and they celebrate with the wish family once their child's wish is granted.

Mission Statement
Together, we create life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses.
Description
Make-A-Wish Wisconsin grants over 300 wishes per year to children ages 2 1/2 to 18 living with a critical illness. Our goal is to grant every child eligible for our program a wish.
Hundreds of volunteers are needed across the state in a variety of capacities to help bring hope, strength and joy to wish children and their families. Wish granting, helping with special events and fundraisers, and assisting with office projects are a few examples of how volunteers make a valuable difference.
Make-A-Wish Wisconsin is a not-for-profit organization that relies solely on the generosity of individuals and businesses to fulfill its mission. Gifts of cash and investments, estate gifts, and in-kind contributions are some of the ways funds are raised, and 77% of every dollar raised goes directly to granting wishes.
Make-A-Wish Wisconsin is one of 59 chapters of Make-A-Wish Foundation of America. Over 350,000 wishes have been granted across the nation since the Foundation's inception in 1980, and every day, more than 25 wishes are granted across the U.S.
