In-Kind Products or Services

In-kind contributions primarily include items, products, or services that are provided free of charge or at a substantial discount to the Make-A-Wish Foundation®. In-kind donations are most commonly used for wish granting.

The Oregon chapter of the Make-A-Wish Foundation has one of the highest in-kind to cash ratios for wish granting and is able to grant wishes thanks to the generous support of in-kind donors.
