Our Chapter

Founded in 1985, Make-A-Wish Tri-Counties has granted the wishes of more than 1,700 local children in Ventura, Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties on the central coast of California.

Make-A-Wish Tri Counties finances endeavors through corporate sponsorships, special events, foundation grants and individual contributions. However, we do not solicit funds by telephone and receive no federal or state funding. As a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization, all contributions are deductible to the extent permitted by law. Our financial statements are audited locally by CliftonLarsonAllen LLP. 

At Make-A-Wish, we take our responsibility for the monies donated to our cause very seriously. For full financial details, please review our most recent FY18 Audited Financial Statements and our latest 990.
