fact sheet - Make-A-Wish® Greater Bay Area

FACT SHEET
MISSION
Make-A-Wish® Greater Bay Area grants the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions to enrich the human experience with
hope, strength and joy. Proceeds from the Make-A-Wish fundraising efforts are used to fulfill children’s dreams and create special memories
for the entire family. Of each dollar raised, more than 75% is spent on direct wish granting costs.
NATIONAL HISTORY
The Make-A-Wish Foundation® was inspired in 1980 by the love that a family and friends had for a seven-year-old boy named Chris who had
leukemia. Chris dreamed of becoming a police officer for a day, and his family and friends in the state highway patrol made his wish come
true – complete with his own helmet, goggles, badge and a regulation uniform tailored especially for him. Chris’ mother and those who helped
to grant his wish created the Foundation in his memory, enabling his legacy to live on in the more than 234,000 wishes that have been granted
since. The Foundation has grown into the largest wish granting organization in the world, with 62 chapters in the U.S. and its territories.
America’s Greatest Brands Vol. 3 recognized Make-A-Wish, one of only three non-profit organizations, as “America’s Strongest and Most
Trusted Brands.”
CHAPTER HISTORY
Make-A-Wish Greater Bay Area was founded in 1984. In its first year, a total of 27 wishes were granted. Now one of the largest nationwide,
the Greater Bay Area chapter has granted over 6,000 wishes, including 331 wishes in fiscal year 2012. While the chapter follows the policies
and guidelines of the national Make-A-Wish Foundation, Make-A-Wish Greater Bay Area operates as a separate 501(c)(3) organization. All
funds raised by the chapter are used to fulfill our mission in the Bay Area.
GEOGRAPHIC AREA
Make-A-Wish Greater Bay Area serves 17 counties: Alameda, Contra Costa, Del Norte, Humboldt, Lake, Mendocino, Napa, Marin, Monterey,
San Benito, San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Santa Cruz, Siskiyou, Solano, and Sonoma.
GOVERNANCE
A twenty-four member volunteer Board of Directors representing our geographically diverse area governs the chapter. Board meetings are
held six times per year, and in addition there are ad-hoc task teams and Board Committees organized around specific areas of the chapter’s
operations.
FUNDING
The average cost of one wish is approximately $10,000 (including in-kind contributions). The chapter relies on in-kind gifts and services,
financial contributions from individuals, corporations, clubs and other groups, special events, and car donations. Our chapter has received
enormous community support through special projects, service clubs, fundraisers and private contributions.
WISH GRANTING
Make-A-Wish Greater Bay Area serves children between the ages of 2½ - 18 who meet our guidelines without regard to race, gender, creed,
socio-economic or cultural background. The chapter is committed to ensuring that it never has to decline a qualified wish referral nor limit the
scope of a child’s imagination for his/her wish due to a lack of funds.

Conflict of Interest and Ethics Statement
As an employee/volunteer of Make-A-Wish, I have an obligation to the organization I serve, to the general public,
and to myself to maintain the highest standards of ethical conduct. I will not commit acts contrary to these
standards nor will I condone the commission of such acts by others within the Foundation. I have a responsibility to:
Confidentiality
• Keep confidential information confidential unless legally obligated to do otherwise.
• Refrain from using or appearing to use confidential information acquired in the course of my service for
unethical or illegal advantage either personally or through third parties.
Conflict Of Interest
• Avoid direct or indirect, actual or apparent, conflicts of interest and advise all appropriate parties of any
potential conflict, e.g.:
a. A Make-A-Wish representative's personal business provides goods or services to Make-A-Wish for
consideration.
b. A friend or relative of Make-A-Wish representative provides goods or services to Make-A-Wish for
consideration.
c. A vendor or business acquaintance with whom a Make-A-Wish representative has an outside business
relationship provides goods or services to the Make-A-Wish Foundation for consideration.
• Refrain from engaging in any activity that would prejudice my ability or the ability of others to carry out duties
ethically.
• Refuse any gift, favor, or hospitality that would influence or would appear to influence my actions or the
actions of others, e.g. a Make-A-Wish representative receives a referral fee or preferential discount, gift, or
other valuable consideration from a vendor, paid promoter, fund-raising event sponsor, or any other outside
party, for referring Make-A-Wish business to such party.
Legal Assurance
• Submit to a criminal background check every three years.
• Report any present, past, or future allegations of criminal activities, criminal investigations, arrests, and/or
convictions involving myself.
Integrity
• Refrain from violating any criminal or civil law or regulation.

objectives.

the organization.
I ____________________________________________________, attest and agree to be bound by the foregoing
standards. I have not been party to an unethical or conflicting action that has not been previously disclosed. I
also agree to report any potential future conflicts of interest or observed unethical activity of which I have
become aware to the appropriate parties. I do not currently have pending against me any criminal proceedings,
nor have I been placed under arrest for or been convicted of a criminal offense within the past year.
