Form And Line Reference	PART I, LINE 2:	FormAndLineReferenceDesc
Explanation	THE FOUNDATION'S POLICY FOR FOREIGN GRANTS IS CONSISTENT WITH ITS POLICY FOR DOMESTIC GRANTS. THE FOUNDATION PROVIDES GRANTS AND SCHOLARSHIPS TO AFFILIATED CHAPTERS FOR THE PURPOSE OF GRANTING THE WISHES OF CHILDREN WITH LIFE-THREATENING MEDICAL CONDITIONS. THE FOUNDATION AND ITS CHAPTERS OPERATE UNDER INDIVIDUAL CHAPTER AGREEMENTS WHICH DEFINE THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS UNDER WHICH A CHAPTER IS GRANTED THE RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES OF BEING A CHAPTER, AS WELL AS THE DUTIES AND OBLIGATIONS ASSOCIATED WITH THAT PRIVILEGE. BY ENTERING INTO THE CHAPTER AGREEMENT, THE CHAPTER AGREES TO PERMIT THE FOUNDATION'S DESIGNATED REPRESENTATIVES TO INSPECT THE CHAPTER'S BOOKS AND RECORDS AND TO INTERVIEW CHAPTER'S DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES AND VOLUNTEERS AT ANY REASONABLE TIME AND UPON REASONABLE NOTICE. IN ADDITION, THE FOUNDATION'S COMPLIANCE TEAM VISITS ALL CHAPTERS ON A ROTATING BASIS TO FURTHER ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH THE POLICIES FOR THE ACCEPTANCE AND USE OF GRANTS AND SCHOLARSHIPS. MAKE-A-WISH FOUNDATION OF AMERICA DOES NOT PROVIDE CASH GRANTS TO INDIVIDUALS, BUT RATHER GRANTS WISHES TO SELECTED BENEFICIARIES THAT MEET THE SPECIFIC CRITERIA FOR THE WISH-GRANTING PROGRAM.

FORM 990, PART I, LINE 1:	TOGETHER, WE CREATE LIFE-CHANGING WISHES FOR CHILDREN WITH CRITICAL ILLNESSES.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 1:	THE MAKE-A-WISH FOUNDATION IS THE LARGEST WISH-GRANTING ORGANIZATION IN THE WORLD. TOGETHER, WE CREATE LIFE-CHANGING WISHES FOR CHILDREN WITH CRITICAL ILLNESSES. THE FOUNDATION'S WISH-GRANTING EFFORTS CREATE A LIFE-CHANGING IMPACT FOR THE CHILDREN WHO ARE GRANTED A WISH, AS WELL AS THEIR FRIENDS AND FAMILIES, REFERRAL SOURCES, DONORS, SPONSORS, AND EVEN ENTIRE COMMUNITIES. FOUNDED IN 1980 WHEN A GROUP OF CARING VOLUNTEERS HELPED A BOY FULFILL HIS DREAM OF BECOMING A POLICE OFFICER, THE FOUNDATION NOW HAS GRANTED MORE THAN 315,000 WISHES TO CHILDREN IN THE UNITED STATES AND ITS TERRITORIES. ALTHOUGH IT HAS BECOME ONE OF THE WORLD'S MOST WELL-KNOWN CHARITIES, THE MAKE-A-WISH FOUNDATION HAS MAINTAINED THE GRASSROOTS FULFILLMENT OF ITS MISSION. A NETWORK OF NEARLY 40,000 VOLUNTEERS ENABLES THE FOUNDATION TO SERVE CHILDREN WITH CRITICAL ILLNESSES. VOLUNTEERS WORK AS WISH GRANTERS, FUNDRAISERS, SPECIAL EVENTS ASSISTANTS, LANGUAGE INTERPRETERS AND IN NUMEROUS OTHER CAPACITIES. THE MAKE-A-WISH FOUNDATION FINANCES ITS WORK THROUGH INDIVIDUAL CONTRIBUTIONS, CORPORATE DONATIONS, FOUNDATION GRANTS AND PLANNED GIFTS. IT RECEIVES NO FEDERAL, STATE OR LOCAL GOVERNMENT FUNDING. WISHES ARE GRANTED REGARDLESS OF THE CHILD'S RACE, SOCIOECONOMIC STATUS, RELIGIOUS BELIEFS OR ANY OTHER DEMOGRAPHIC CATEGORY. REFERRALS FOR WISHES COME FROM CHILDREN'S PARENTS OR GUARDIANS, MEMBERS OF THE MEDICAL COMMUNITY AND THE CHILDREN THEMSELVES. WHEN A WISH TEAM FIRST VISITS A CHILD, THE VOLUNTEERS START WITH ONE SIMPLE QUESTION: "IF YOU COULD HAVE ONE WISH, WHAT WOULD IT BE?" WISHES TYPICALLY FALL INTO ONE OF FIVE CATEGORIES: "I WISH TO GO..." "I WISH TO MEET..." "I WISH TO BE..." "I WISH TO HAVE... OR "I WISH TO GIVE..." GRANTING A WISH CREATES A MAGICAL MOMENT FOR SERIOUSLY ILL CHILDREN AT A TIME WHEN THEY NEED JOY THE MOST. THE FOUNDATION MAKES EVERY EFFORT TO INCLUDE IMMEDIATE FAMILY IN THE CHILD'S WISH BECAUSE WATCHING A DREAM COME TRUE CREATES HOPE, STRENGTH AND JOY FOR EVERYONE INVOLVED IN THE WISH EXPERIENCE. THE FOUNDATION IS DEDICATED TO MAKING EVERY ELIGIBLE CHILD'S WISH COME TRUE. FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE MAKE-A-WISH FOUNDATION, CALL 1-800-722-WISH (9474) OR VISIT WISH.ORG.

EFFECTIVE JULY 2009, THE COI STATEMENT WAS EXPANDED TO INCLUDE AN ADDENDUM IN WHICH OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, AND KEY EMPLOYEES ARE REQUIRED TO DISCLOSE THE EXISTENCE OF ANY FAMILY AND/OR BUSINESS RELATIONSHIPS THEY MAY HAVE WITH OTHER OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, OR KEY EMPLOYEES OF THE FOUNDATION. THE SECRETARY OF THE BOARD IS CHARGED WITH ENSURING THE COI STATEMENT AND ADDENDUM ARE SIGNED EACH YEAR BY DIRECTORS, WHILE THE FOUNDATION'S HUMAN RESOURCES DEVELOPMENT IS CHARGED WITH ENSURING THOSE DOCUMENTS ARE SIGNED BY OFFICERS AND KEY EMPLOYEES. IF ANY COVERED PERSON DISCLOSES A POTENTIAL OR ACTUAL CONFLICT, THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURE IS FOLLOWED (1) THE CONFLICTING INTEREST IS FULLY DISCLOSED TO THE BOARD, (2) THE COVERED PERSON RESPONDS TO ANY FACTUAL QUESTIONS FROM THE BOARD RELATED TO THE DISCLOSED CONFLICT, AND (3) THE BOARD, WITHOUT THE COVERED PERSON PRESENT, DISCUSSES THE CONFLICT AND APPROVES OR DISAPPROVES THE PROPOSED TRANSACTION.
FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 15	THE TOTAL COMPENSATION (INCLUDING BASE SALARY, BENEFITS, AND INCENTIVE PAYMENTS) OF THE FOUNDATION'S CEO AND OFFICERS FOR 2018 WAS REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY THE COMPENSATION AND MANAGEMENT DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS, WHICH IS COMPRISED SOLELY OF INDEPENDENT DIRECTORS, NONE OF WHOM HAD A CONFLICT OF INTEREST WITH RESPECT TO THE PROPOSED COMPENSATION ARRANGEMENTS. THE COMPENSATION REVIEW/APPROVAL PROCESS INCLUDED SUBSTANTIAL INPUT FROM THE FOUNDATION'S COMPENSATION AND MANAGEMENT DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE AND EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE (COLLECTIVELY, THE "COMMITTEES"), AS WELL AS AN INDEPENDENT COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS SPECIALIST ("INDEPENDENT EXPERT") RETAINED TO ADVISE THE FOUNDATION IN SUCH MATTERS. AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE COMMITTEES AND THE INDEPENDENT EXPERT REVIEWED APPROPRIATE COMPARABILITY INFORMATION REGARDING THE COMPENSATION PAID BY OTHER SIMILARLY SITUATED NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS TO THEIR CEOS AND TOP MANAGEMENT OFFICIALS TO ENSURE THAT THE COMPENSATION PROPOSED FOR THE CORRESPONDING EXECUTIVE AT THE FOUNDATION WAS REASONABLE AND APPROPRIATE BASED ON COMPARABLE MARKET DATA. THE FOUNDATION'S CONTEMPORANEOUS RECORDS INCLUDE (1) THE TERMS OF THE COMPENSATION ARRANGEMENTS (INCLUDING THE DATES THEY WERE APPROVED), (2) THE NAMES OF BOARD/COMMITTEE MEMBERS WHO WERE PRESENT DURING THE DISCUSSIONS AND WHO VOTED ON THE ARRANGEMENTS, AND (3) A DESCRIPTION OF THE COMPARABILITY DATA RELIED UPON BY THE FOUNDATION BEFORE THE COMPENSATION ARRANGEMENTS WERE APPROVED.
FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION C, LINE 19	ALTHOUGH FEDERAL TAX LAWS DO NOT MANDATE THAT AN ORGANIZATION'S GOVERNING DOCUMENTS, CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY, AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS BE MADE AVAILABLE FOR PUBLIC INSPECTION, THE FOUNDATION POSTS ITS ANNUAL REPORT, COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, AND FORM 990 ON ITS WEBSITE (HTTP://WWW.WISH.ORG/ABOUT-US/MAKING-A-DIFFERENCE/MANAGING-FUNDS) AND ALSO MAKES SUCH DOCUMENTS AVAILABLE TO MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC UPON REQUEST.
