Mission

Make-A-Wish Foundation of Iowa grants the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions to enrich the human experience with hope, strength, and joy. Make-A-Wish Foundation of Iowa granted its first wish in late 1985. After the wish was granted, volunteers began the process of working with the Make-A-Wish Foundation of America to formally create the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Iowa in 1987. To-date, the Iowa Chapter has fulfilled over 1,400 wishes, and anticipates granting 140 wishes during the current fiscal year. Our unwavering goal, beginning with the granting of the first wish in 1986, and continuing until the day that life-stealing maladies no longer afflict our children, is to help make all of our wish children's dreams come true.
