More Than A Wish: We’re Multiplying Hope
Several thousands. That’s how many children Kids Wish Network has impacted since 1997, and we’re just getting started. You can help us multiply our efforts to make wishes come true. Your commitment to Kids Wish Network is about more than granting a wish. Every wish we grant infuses hope, creates happy memories, and improves the quality of life for a child experiencing life-altering situations. Are you ready to help us changes lives?
Worth The Investment
While the children we serve represent diverse backgrounds and circumstances, they have one thing in common: they have all faced extraordinary challenges in their young lives. There are many ways to offer them hope.
Give lasting and happy memories..
Support children of military families.
Make holidays brighter and happier.
Create laughter and spread smiles.
Provide comfort to grieving families.
No matter where you’re interested in being part of Kids Wish Network, you can help us lead the charge in bringing much-needed joy to these brave young hearts.
“I don’t think you should be called the Kids Wish Network. I think you should be called the Kids Dream Network because you guys don’t just grant wishes, you make kids dreams come true”

A Brighter Future
There are many children experiencing extremely difficult situations, and we want to give even more of them the kind of extraordinary experiences that improve their quality of life. Learn how a greater percentage of every dollar you donate will now go directly to our services and programs and our kids.
Every kid’s wish is worth the investment because every wish changes a life.
A statement from our Executive Director, Tam Lai.
We wake up every morning and move toward our mission of infusing hope, creating happy memories, and improving the quality of life for children experiencing life-altering situations. As a national charitable organization, we strive to uphold that mission by respecting every single dollar donated.
In 2021, together with our internal leadership team and Board of Directors, we strategically implemented a new organizational structure that effectively evaluated our fundraising, increased the percentage of every dollar donated to directly fund our Wish Kid experiences and ensured that every fundraiser meets regulatory compliance.
Our donors and sponsors are the driving force that allows Kids Wish Network to carry out the great work we do. We hope that through social media visibility and transparency, donors will see the children they are supporting and the lives they are changing.
A Foundation Built On Empathy
We know the trauma pediatric patients and their families face. Our founders experienced the painful and debilitating cancer treatments firsthand as their family member battled cancer. Out of their experience, Kids Wish Network was born and our first wish was granted.
We expanded our mission when we realized no other organization was reaching kids in life-altering situations due to hospitalization, homelessness, and abuse.
Today, we have six initiatives that are changing the lives of children all across the country.
