About this organization
Mission
At One Simple Wish we believe that every child deserves love, hope and joy. Every year nearly 500,000 children are impacted by abuse, neglect and trauma and spend time in our nation’s foster care system. It can be lonely, confusing and a bit scary. Through our innovative wish-granting platform, you can send some love to a child who needs it. When wishes come true, kids not only have a chance to just be kids, but they can also make important connections, experience new things and find their passion! 500,000+ kids spend time in foster care each year. 100,000+ kids are waiting to be adopted. 22,000+ young people age out without stable, permanent connections. We are here for them all!
About
Wish granting is One Simple Wish (OSW)'s core program and offers caring individuals a way to directly affect the life of a child in foster care. Through our website potential donors are able to browse hundreds of wishes posted on behalf of the children and select which wish to grant. The wishes typically cost from $5 to $500, which allows almost anyone to find a wish that speaks to both their heart as well as to their budget. Moreover, OSW recognizes that donors have a desire to know exactly where their contributions go and therefore offers the opportunity for them to give more efficiently and effectively. When a donor grants a wish, nearly 100% of that donation is directed towards fulfillment of that specific request. During the fiscal year, thanks to the generosity of thousands of people OSW granted 7,853 wishes.
