Managing Our Funds 

Make-A-Wish Central & South Texas 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 and are pleased to confirm that according to the fiscal year 2019 audit results, Make-A-Wish Foundation Central & South Texas spent 83% of every dollar on wish granting and related program expenses. Only 5.5% of every dollar was spent on management and general costs and 11.5% was allocated to fundraising. For full financial details please review our most recent:
