Managing Our Funds
Make-A-Wish Alabama 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 by CliftonLarsonAllen LLP.
At Make-A-Wish Alabama, we take our responsibility for the monies donated to our cause very seriously. For Fiscal Year 2021, Make-A-Wish Alabama had to embrace a world filled with changes including pandemic recommendations, those crafted by national organizations like the Centers for Disease Control and those crafted by our own Make-A-Wish America Medical Advisory Council. This changed how we granted wishes. For more information on these temporary changes and how they've affected our ratio numbers, please see this letter from our President and CEO, Tracy Bennett Smith. For full financial details, please review our most recent Audited Financial Statements (Fiscal Year 21), or our latest 990.
Make-A-Wish America is proud to be a BBB Accredited Charity Seal Holder, having met all 20 BBB Standards for Charity Accountability.
