MAKE-A-WISH UTAH GRANTS ONE PERSONAL, HEARTFELT WISH TO MEDICALLY-ELIGIBLE CHILDREN BETWEEN AGES 2.5 AND 18 WHO HAVE A CRITICAL ILLNESS AS DETERMINED BY THEIR PHYSICIAN. IN FISCAL YEAR 2025, 221 WISHES WERE GRANTED, AND 264 CHILDREN WERE IN THE WISH PIPELINE AT THE END OF THE FISCAL YEAR. WISH GRANTING NOT ONLY IMPACTS WISH FAMILIES BUT ALSO VOLUNTEERS, DONORS, AND COMMUNITY PARTNERS. MAKE-A-WISH UTAH PROVIDES LOCAL PLANNING, LOGISTICS, AND SUPPORT FOR CHILDREN VISITING UTAH FROM ANOTHER STATE TO FULFILL A WISH. THE ORGANIZATION MANAGES AN EXTENSIVE VOLUNTEER PROGRAM THAT PROVIDES TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT TO VOLUNTEERS WHO HELP GRANT WISHES AND SUPPORT THE ORGANIZATION IN VARIOUS WAYS. A MEDICAL OUTREACH PROGRAM DEVELOPS REFERRALS OF MEDICALLY-ELIGIBLE CHILDREN FROM HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS AT HOSPITALS AND CLINICS. THE TOTAL PROGRAM EXPENSES RECOGNIZED FOR THE FISCAL YEAR WAS $3,775,323, OF WHICH $1,482,076 WAS CONTRIBUTED BY DONORS WHO PROVIDED IN-KIND CONTRIBUTIONS FOR WISH GRANTING. FOR FINANCIAL STATEMENT PURPOSES, THESE AMOUNTS ARE INCLUDED AS CONTRIBUTION REVENUE AND DIRECT WISH EXPENSES. HOWEVER, FOR FORM 990, THE IRS REQUIRES THE $559,564 OF CONTRIBUTED SERVICES AND USE OF FACILITIES TO BE EXCLUDED FROM BOTH REVENUE AND EXPENSE.
