Managing Our Funds 

Make-A-Wish Georgia finances its endeavors through corporate sponsorships, special events, foundation grants and individual contributions. Make-A-Wish Georgia does not solicit funds by telephone and receives no federal or state funding. As a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization, all contributions are deductible to the extent permitted by law. The chapter’s financial statements are audited locally by CliftonLarsonAllen LLP.

As responsible stewards of contributions that aimed to impact the lives of critically ill children, we take the management, transparency, and distribution of this donated funding very seriously, all of which is confirmed in our audit results for fiscal year 2022-2023. For full financial details, please review our most recent audited financial statement, annual impact reports, our form 990 or reach out to request additional information through our website.

We are proud to be a BBB Georgia Accredited Charity Seal Holder, having met all 20 BBB Standards for Charity Accountability. We have also been awarded the 2022 Gold Seal of Transparency from GuideStar by Candid and have been named #1 Most Trusted Nonprofit operating locally across 50 states according to the 2022 and 2023 Morning Consult survey.
