Become A Supporter

The Make-A-Wish Foundation® of Southern Florida relies on contributions from individuals and corporations as a major source of revenue. There are a number of giving programs in which you can help make children’s wishes come true. Click on the links to learn more about the different ways to give.

The Adopt-A-Wish® Program provides individuals, corporations and community groups with the opportunity to sponsor a child’s wish and share in the Make-A-Wish magic. You can be a Wish Sponsor for a contribution of $5,000 and underwrite a child’s entire wish. For a contribution of $2,500, you will be a Wish Partner and your funding will be coupled with another donor’s contribution to provide a wish come true.

There are many unique opportunities for your company and your brand to participate in meaningful and successful cause-related marketing programs.  Corporate Partners sponsor wishes, recruit volunteers and help support the Foundation in various ways.  We will work with you to determine what your company wants to achieve through a relationship with the Foundation. Then we tailor a sponsorship according to those criteria.

The Make-A-Wish Cornerstone Society provides caring individuals the opportunity to know that they personally have made wishes come true. By making a five-year pledge, you will help to ensure that the magic of the Make-A-Wish Foundation will continue.

The Monthly Giving Club allows you to make a difference in the lives of these children - without writing checks or mailing envelopes. Once you sign up, there is nothing else for you to do. Your contributions will continue to be transferred on a regular basis until you decide to suspend your participation. Your tax-deductible contribution will show up each month on your credit card statement, which will serve as your receipt.
