FAQ’s: Find the Answers

 

Are your financials audited?

 Yes. Kids Wish Network undergoes regular audits by an independent accounting firm to ensure accuracy and compliance. We’re committed to transparency and happy to provide these reports to donors, media, or oversight agencies upon request.

Does you use fundraising companies?

 Yes. To keep costs efficient and reach families nationwide, we partner with licensed professional fundraisers who meet strict legal and ethical standards. All are vetted for compliance, quality, and child protection.

While we maintain a small internal team, our partners help ensure we can continue delivering life-changing services to children across the country.

Are donations tax-deductible?

Yes. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, your donation is fully tax-deductible. In January, we’ll send a year-end summary of your contributions for your records. Have questions? Contact us.

Is KWN regulated or overseen?

We’re also registered with Florida’s Division of Consumer Services, which oversees nonprofit compliance in our state. You can reach them at 1-800-435-7352.

How much does a wish cost?

Every wish is different. Some involve travel or tech, others involve gifts or experiences. Costs can range from hundreds to thousands of dollars, depending on the child’s request.

We work hard to stretch every donation and keep costs low by securing in-kind support and corporate donations.

Can I sponsor a child?

Yes! Individuals, businesses, and brands can sponsor a child’s wish, event, or program. These sponsorships directly fund joyful experiences and essential support for children.
