Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
The foundations goals are #1 to offer at least major family wishes per year.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
Due to the high costs of wish granting we have very specific guidelines for the coming year. The foundation strategy is to continue raising funds for wishes though the implementation of an Entertainment Book project. In addition, we will be participants in national foot races. Volunteers will assist in raising funds for wish granting.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
Currently, we are able to meet our goal of six wishes granted per year. However, we would like to increase that number by two additional in the coming year.
We are now able to offer donors the Entertainment Book for their specific area.
We are also able to offer wishes to a variety of destinations. If a terminal patient requests a venue not on our general list, we will try to establish a relationship with the venue. Note: this is not possible in all cases. We are also able to work with other nonprofits in securing wishes for their wish recipients. Because we are a virtual nonprofit, our board members are located throughout the United States. As a direct result, we have the benefit of having some of the best charity executive minds in the country guiding our progress and success.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
When the foundation began a little over three years ago, we were totally unknown to anyone. To date we have had articles written about our wishes, been mentioned on television and in the print media. We have a following of 2000+ on Facebook and Twitter and are growing. Our board of directors now attracts some of the most successful and talented business people in the country. We have received well over 150 requests for wishes. We have created a successful group of Ambassadors who represent the foundation as well
