Core offering

Kids Wish Network is a 501(c)(3) national nonprofit charity that grants customized wish experiences to children ages 3-18 with life-threatening medical conditions, and runs five additional programs that deliver toys, holiday gifts, funeral assistance, and student philanthropy initiatives. The organization funds its mission entirely through voluntary charitable donations from individuals and corporate sponsors and partners with entertainment and hospitality brands (Disney, Universal Studios, LEGOLAND, Kennedy Space Center, and others) to deliver the wish experiences.

Product overview

Kids Wish Network is a nonprofit organization offering a portfolio of six distinct programs that work together to fulfill its mission of infusing hope, creating happy memories, and improving quality of life for children experiencing life-altering situations. The core programs include Lifetime Wishes (customized wishes for children with life-threatening medical conditions) and Hero Wishes (for children who have survived traumatic circumstances), both accessible through a nomination process. Complementary support programs include A Child Forever (funeral assistance for families of deceased wish children), Holiday of Hope (holiday gift deliveries to hospitalized children), Project Toy Drop (toy donations for at-risk youth and military families), and the C.L.A.S.S. Program (student philanthropy initiative). The organization also provides a Media Kit resource for press inquiries. All programs are funded through donations and corporate sponsorships.
