Create an Endowment
The Make-A-Wish Foundation of Utah® would like your gift to be as unique to you as the wishes we grant to each child. Gifts of endowment create investment income to fund one wish each year in perpetuity. An endowment gives you the opportunity to invest in hope for the children of the future while providing healing for children today. Call the development office at 801-262-9474 for more information.

Endowed Memorial or Tribute Wish - $100,000
Provides a wish each year in the name of someone you love. The story of the wish granted in the name of this person will be shared with your family in the case of a memorial, or with the person you are honoring through your endowment. When a family has been touched by the loss of a loved one, a memorial wish can bring comfort and healing both to the family that grieves and to the family whose child's wish is fulfilled through your kindness. Donor families may choose to fund a wish for children in a particular illness category, like cancer. Or they may choose to fund children with a particular type of wish, like a pet or a hobby or a musical instrument that honors the spirit or interests of the individual they are honoring.

Endowed Travel Wish - $75,000
Provides annual funding for a travel wish. Often children want to visit a place they've only dreamed of. Travel wishes are so popular because they offer a critically ill child the opportunity to escape the hospital or a treatment schedule for a brief time, to explore new places and experiences, or to leap beyond the crushing limitations of their disease or medical condition.

Endowed Disney Wish - $50,000
Provides funding to send one child every year to Walt Disney World. It is no surprise that the magic of Disney is one of our most popular wish requests each year. Elementary-school-aged children especially dream of dancing with Mickey or fighting with Captain Hook, or having a tea party with Cinderella. The entire family can leave the stresses of catastrophic illness behind for a wonderful week of fun and fantasy in the Magic Kingdom.

Endowed Gift or Celebrity Wish - $25,000
Provides funding for one child every year to receive a tangible gift or meet a special hero. Many children wish for a gift like a new bedroom…a playhouse…a puppy…a drum set…a computer. Other children wish to meet a personal role model who has given them courage or inspiration through a challenging time in their lives.
