Together, we create life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses.

About us

At Make-A-Wish® MInnesota, we are more than a great place to work – our work is life-changing. We are an inclusive and diverse group of people who, through a mosaic of backgrounds, thoughts and experiences, are united in purposeful work. We are fueled and guided by our values – values that are represented in the inspired people we work with and the transformational work we do, every day. Make-A-Wish is the world’s leading children’s wish-granting organization, serving children in every community in the U.S. and in 50 countries worldwide. Nearly 40 years ago the inspiration for Make-A-Wish began with one little boy’s wish to be a police officer. Today, together with our volunteers, donors, staff and supporters, Make-A-Wish has granted more than 300,000 life-changing wishes and transformed countless lives. There is nothing more powerful than making a child’s wish come true. And at Make-A-Wish, we will stop at nothing to ensure every eligible child received a life-changing wish. We believe – and research shows – that a wish gives kids the resilience, courage and strength they need to fight their critical illnesses. A wish doesn’t signify an end or one happy moment in time … a wish truly has the power to transform lives. This is why wishes matter. This is Make-A-Wish. Mission: Together, we create life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses.

  • “For those who support Make-A-Wish, please don’t stop. If you stop, many kids like my Hazael will stop dreaming. Make-A-Wish is good. Make-A-Wish is family. Make-A-Wish is love. Please continue doing this as long as you can.” – Yosilda, Hazael’s mom Wishes are local. Minnesota wishes are funded by Minnesota donors. As the leading wish-granting organization, Make-A-Wish Minnesota has granted more than 6,300 wishes in all 87 counties across our state. Wishes give children renewed energy and strength, bring families closer together and unite communities. Your contribution to Make-A-Wish Minnesota has a local impact and provides a unique opportunity for you to make a difference for children in your own community.  Donate at bit.ly/wishfulgivingMN

  • A wish experience can create an immediate turning point in a child’s treatment and recovery, giving them a better chance of surviving and thriving.   Research shows that children who have wishes granted can build the physical and emotional strength they need to fight a critical illness, which can give them a better chance of surviving and thriving.*    In fact, the majority of wish kids whose wishes we grant go on to beat their illnesses and live typical, healthy lives – and they often credit the wish for giving them an edge in their fight.  By investing in wishes, you give children with critical illnesses so much more than a temporary escape. You give them the hope and strength to keep fighting for better days. A wish transforms the lives of kids facing critical illnesses, replacing fear with hope for tomorrow.  Donate at bit.ly/wishfulgivingMN
