Funding
Proceeds from the Foundation’s fundraising efforts are used to fulfill children’s dreams and create special memories for the entire family. Of each dollar raised, approximately 80% is spent on program services. (For FY 2005/06, fundraising costs were higher due to our Capital Campaign.)
The average cash cost of one wish is approximately $6,000. The Foundation relies on in-kind gifts and services, financial contributions from individuals, corporations, clubs and other groups, special events and car donations. Our Foundation has received enormous community support through special projects, service clubs, fundraisers and private contributions. Gifts to the Endowment Fund are permanently restricted and will be used for children's wishes in future years.
Through the efforts of more than 1,200 volunteers, an active Board of Directors and dedicated staff, the chapter’s annual gross revenue has continued to grow. This year's annual budget will be $2.8 million with the goal of granting approximately 235 wishes and continuing work on the Wishing Place.
The Make-A-Wish Foundation® of Sacramento and Northeastern California thanks all of our individual and corporate donors, our event sponsors and our in-kind contributors. Each of these donations, regardless of size, contributes to making children's dreams come true.
