Memorial or Honorarium Donations
Some people choose to designate the Make-A-Wish Foundation® of New Hampshire as a recipient of gifts as they mark a special occasion such as a milestone birthday or anniversary. In addition, many people choose to designate a charitable organization as the recipient of memorial gifts in lieu of flowers following the death of a loved one. These are real ways in which a person's commitments to serving others can be honored during their lifetime and carried on after their death.

Many people have chosen to designate the Make-A-Wish Foundation® of New Hampshire in these events. We appreciate these gifts, and would be happy to answer any questions regarding the process. The Foundation will mail acknowledgement cards for all donations, and will also provide the family with information regarding all donations.

Wills, Bequests & Planned Giving
Planned Giving refers to the many deferred giving opportunities that exist, including making gifts through your will, charitable gift annuities, life insurance, pooled income funds and charitable trusts. These gifts can provide tax advantages, and can be structured to provide financial benefits to you. For more information, please contact your financial advisor, or contact our office at (603) 623-WISH (9474) for more information.

Corporate Matching Gifts
Maximize your gift. Check with your employer to see whether they provide a corporate match for charitable donations. Please check with your personnel office to complete appropriate forms.

In-Kind Donations
Not all of the donations we receive are financial. In fact, many people are surprised to find out all of the ways in which they can help through their business or personal contacts. We welcome in-kind donations.

• Toys - Our Wish Granters never visit a child empty-handed. We need new toys 365 days a year.
• Wish Enhancements and Perks - Donations that add sparkle and magic to the wish experience; e.g. tickets to a local event, balloons or discounts.
• Wish Parties - Wish parties are special occasions that our Wish Granters plan for our wish children before they leave for a Wish trip or at the end of their special wish to celebrate (e.g., a taco party to send off a wish to Mexico or a pool party for a child that has just received a pool for a wish).
• Auction Items - Quality items are needed for various auctions throughout the year.
• Wish Items - Items that are necessary to fulfilling a child's wish, such as providing a hot tub for a hot tub wish or airline tickets for a trip.

If you have an idea regarding an in-kind donation, please call our office at (603) 623-WISH (9474). We would be happy to talk with you about any items we currently need, or about how you may be able to help grant future wishes.

Business Donations
New Hampshire businesses donate to the Make-A-Wish Foundation® of New Hampshire by hosting events, sharing in-kind donations, or corporate cash gifts.

We welcome our corporate partners and we're available to share ideas and strategies.
