Donations

A Big Wish can cost in upwards of $10,000 and individual donations are A Special Wish Northeast Ohio’s largest single source of funding.

We are locally operated and locally funded. No matter how big or small, we treat every donation with extreme financial care. We proudly operate on 92 cents to each dollar donated.

A Special Wish Foundation has been classified as a 501(c)(3) charitable non-profit corporate. All contributions are tax deductible to the extent allowed by the Internal Revenue Service.

In-Kind Donations

Monetary gifts are not the only important way to contribute to our Chapter. We also welcome in-kind donations, which are donations of goods or services.

Examples of In-Kind Donations:

  • Toy Donations (New/Unused)

  • Luggage (New/Unused)

  • Tickets to Concerts and Sporting Events

  • Airline Vouchers

Corporate Gifts

Several corporations participate in our Corporate Sponsorship Program. This dynamic philanthropic initiative allows businesses to raise money for a wish child and grant their Big Wish. Companies can truly get involved in the fundraising process and actually see their donation come to life.

Planned Gifts

We encourage donors to consider talking with their financial planner, lawyer, accountant or insurance agent about arranging a planned gift to benefit A Special Wish Northeast Ohio Chapter. A memorial gift can be arranged in your will, the same way you would request a personal gift from your estate. There are also different kinds of charitable trusts you can arrange to donate the trust’s income while receiving tax benefits. Your financial adviser can make sure you are receiving the maximum tax and legal advantages allowed for your gift.
