WITH OUR WISH MAKING PROCESS, WE STRIVE TO BRING A SENSE OF EXCITEMENT AND HOPE DURING EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TIMES AND DELIVER A JOYFUL LIFE CHANGING EXPERIENCE WHETHER THE WISH IS A PRINCESS PARTY, SWIM WITH THE DOLPHINS, OR THE COUNTLESS OTHER POSSIBILITIES DREAMED UP BY THE MAGICAL MIND OF A CHILD. THE MAKE-A-WISH FOUNDATION OF ALASKA & WASHINGTON GRANTED 360 LIFE CHANGING WISHES IN THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING AUGUST 31, 2025. THE TOTAL COST OF WISHES GRANTED FOR THE FISCAL YEAR WAS $6,976,581.

THE SIGNED STATEMENTS ARE THEN SUBMITTED TO AND REVIEWED BY THE DIRECTOR OF VOLUNTEER SERVICES IF THEY ARE FROM VOLUNTEERS, AND THE PRESIDENT & CEO IF THEY ARE FROM STAFF AND BOARD MEMBERS. REVIEW OF THE STATEMENTS IS MONITORED BY THE PRESIDENT & CEO. THE PROCEDURES FOR ADDRESSING ANY CONFLICTS OF INTEREST OF WHICH THE PRESIDENT & CEO BECOMES AWARE INCLUDES BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO THE FOLLOWING (1) DETERMINING THE NATURE OF THE CONFLICT VIA VERBAL OR WRITTEN COMMUNICATION WITH THE INTERESTED PERSON, (2) FULLY DISCLOSING CONFLICTING INTERESTS TO THE BOARD, (3) THE CONFLICTED PERSON RESCUES HIMSELF/HERSELF FROM DELIBERATIONS AND DECISIONS REGARDING THE TRANSACTION, AND (4) TAKING APPROPRIATE ACTIONS WARRANTED BY THE CONFLICT AS RECOMMENDED BY THE BOARD UP TO AND INCLUDING TERMINATION OF SERVICE.
