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 COMPLY WITH THE POLICIES OF THE FOUNDATION. TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH THE POLICIES, EACH 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. THE ORGANIZATION ALLOCATES FUNDS DIRECTLY TO THE VENDORS FOR THE WISH EXPENSES, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF TRAVEL STIPENDS (I.E. MEALS, TIPS, GAS, ETC.), FROM A STANDARDIZED WISH BUDGET. GENERALLY, WISH EXPENSES ARE DEVELOPED BY THE DIRECTOR OF PROGRAM SERVICES AND ARE APPROVED BY THE PRESIDENT/CEO. THE SUPPORTING WISH EXPENSE DOCUMENTATION (I.E. INVOICES AND STATEMENTS) IS RETAINED BY THE ORGANIZATION.	ExplanationTxt

Explanation	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 COMPLY WITH THE POLICIES OF THE FOUNDATION. TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH THE POLICIES, EACH 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. THE ORGANIZATION ALLOCATES FUNDS DIRECTLY TO THE VENDORS FOR THE WISH EXPENSES, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF TRAVEL STIPENDS (I.E. MEALS, TIPS, GAS, ETC.), FROM A STANDARDIZED WISH BUDGET. GENERALLY, WISH EXPENSES ARE DEVELOPED BY THE DIRECTOR OF PROGRAM SERVICES AND ARE APPROVED BY THE PRESIDENT/CEO. THE SUPPORTING WISH EXPENSE DOCUMENTATION (I.E. INVOICES AND STATEMENTS) IS RETAINED BY THE ORGANIZATION.	ExplanationTxt

FORM 990, PART I, LINE 1	THE MAKE-A-WISH FOUNDATION'S MISSION IS TO GRANT THE WISHES OF CHILDREN WITH LIFE-THREATENING MEDICAL CONDITIONS TO ENRICH THE HUMAN EXPERIENCE WITH HOPE, STRENGTH AND JOY.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 1	THE MAKE-A -WISH FOUNDATION IS THE LARGEST WISH-GRANTING ORGANIZATION IN THE WORLD. ITS MISSION IS TO GRANT THE WISHES OF CHILDREN WITH LIFE-THREATENING MEDICAL CONDITIONS TO ENRICH THE HUMAN EXPERIENCE WITH HOPE, STRENGTH AND JOY. 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 255,000 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 25,000 VOLUNTEERS ENABLES THE FOUNDATION TO SERVE CHILDREN WITH LIFE-THREATENING MEDICAL CONDITIONS. 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 FOUR CATEGORIES: "I WISH TO GO..." "I WISH TO MEET..." "I WISH TO BE..." OR "I WISH TO HAVE..." 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.

FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 15	THE TOTAL COMPENSATION (INCLUDING BASE SALARY, BENEFITS AND INCENTIVE PAYMENTS) OF THE FOUNDATION'S CEO, OFFICERS AND KEY EMPLOYEES FOR 2013 WAS REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY 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 WEB SITE (HTTP://WISH.ORG/ABOUT/MANAGING_OUR_FUNDS) AND ALSO MAKES SUCH DOCUMENTS AVAILABLE TO MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC UPON REQUEST.
