| FORM 990, PART I, LINE 1: | THE MAKE-A-WISH FOUNDATION OF UTAH CREATES LIFE-CHANGING WISHES FOR CHILDREN WITH CRITICAL ILLNESSES. |
| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 1: | TOGETHER, WE CREATE LIFE-CHANGING WISHES FOR CHILDREN WITH CRITICAL ILLNESSES. WE BELIEVE WISHES IMPROVE THE ODDS FOR WISH KIDS FIGHTING CRITICAL ILLNESSES. IT'S WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO. SURE, WISHES ARE AMAZING AND FUN. MORE THAN THAT, THEY INSPIRE AND HAVE THE POWER TO CHANGE LIVES. WISHES HELP KIDS LOOK PAST THEIR LIMITATIONS, FAMILIES OVERCOME ANXIETY AND ENTIRE COMMUNITIES EXPERIENCE JOY. MOST IMPORTANTLY, WISHES CAN IMPROVE A CHILD'S QUALITY OF LIFE, GIVING THEM A BETTER CHANCE OF RECOVERING. WE SERVE UTAH CHILDREN BETWEEN THE AGES OF 2.5 AND 18 WHOSE PHYSICIANS HAVE DIAGNOSED A CRITICAL ILLNESS. A CHILD'S PHYSICIAN IS ALWAYS PART OF OUR TEAM, AND WE TRY TO SERVE EACH CHILD AT THE POINT IN THE ILLNESS WHEN A WISH CAN MAKE THE MOST DIFFERENCE. MANY OF THOSE CHILDREN WILL BE SURVIVORS. ALL OF THEM WILL BE HEALED, LIFTED, AND RENEWED BY THE EXPERIENCE. "IT IS THE SPIRITUAL AND EMOTIONAL THINGS THAT SHE RESPONDS TO, SOMETIMES EVEN MORE THAN THE MEDICINE." |
| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A: | WISH GRANTING: WE GRANT ONE PERSONAL, HEARTFELT WISH TO EVERY MEDICALLY-ELIGIBLE UTAH CHILD BETWEEN THE AGES OF 2.5 AND 18 WHO HAS A CRITICAL ILLNESS AS DETERMINED BY THE CHILD'S OWN PHYSICIAN. IN FY 2019, WE GRANTED 230 WISHES. AT THE END OF OUR FISCAL YEAR, WE HAD 250 CHILDREN IN OUR WISH PIPELINE, INCLUDING 190 WISHES THAT HAD BEEN IDENTIFIED, APPROVED AND IN SOME STAGE OF DELIVERY. WE SERVED 1,118 IMMEDIATE FAMILY MEMBERS WHO DIRECTLY PARTICIPATED IN THESE WISHES. OUR WISHES IMPACT NOT ONLY OUR WISH FAMILIES, BUT COUNTLESS VOLUNTEERS, DONORS AND COMMUNITY PARTNERS WHO ARE TOUCHED BY A WISH. ADDITIONALLY, WE PROVIDE LOCAL PLANNING, LOGISTICS, AND SUPPORT FOR CHILDREN WHO ARE VISITING UTAH FROM ANOTHER STATE IN FULFILLMENT OF A WISH TAKING PLACE HERE IN UTAH. MAKE-A-WISH UTAH MANAGES AN EXTENSIVE VOLUNTEER PROGRAM THAT PROVIDES TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT TO OUR VOLUNTEERS WHO HELP US GRANT WISHES AND SUPPORT US IN A MYRIAD OF WAYS. A MEDICAL OUTREACH PROGRAM DEVELOPS REFERRALS OF MEDICALLY-ELIGIBLE CHILDREN FROM HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS AT HOSPITALS AND CLINICS. THE DIRECT COST OF WISHES GRANTED FOR THE FISCAL YEAR WAS $2,199,495. OF THIS AMOUNT, $434,412 WAS CONTRIBUTED BY VARIOUS DONORS WHO PROVIDED IN-KIND CONTRIBUTIONS FOR WISH GRANTING (TRAVEL, LODGING, AND OTHER SERVICES OR USE OF FACILITIES TO COMPLETE A CHILD'S WISH). FOR FINANCIAL STATEMENT PURPOSES, THESE AMOUNTS ARE INCLUDED AS CONTRIBUTION REVENUE AND DIRECT WISH EXPENSES. FOR FORM 990, HOWEVER, THE IRS REQUIRES THE $434,412 OF CONTRIBUTED SERVICES AND USE OF FACILITIES BE EXCLUDED FROM BOTH REVENUE AND EXPENSES. |
| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4B: | WISH FAMILY SUPPORT: AN ADDED BENEFIT TO BEING A WISH CHILD IN UTAH IS OUR CHAPTER'S CONTINUING INVOLVEMENT WITH WISH FAMILIES THROUGH FAMILY EVENTS (EASTER EGG HUNT, TRICK-OR-TREAT, PRINCESS PARTY, ETC.). WE ALSO FACILITATE THE DISTRIBUTION OF EVENT TICKETS TO WISH FAMILIES WHEN OFFERED TO US FROM VARIOUS SPORTS AND ENTERTAINMENT VENUES IN THE AREA. IN ADDITION TO ATTENDING THE DESIRED EVENTS, THESE FAMILY EVENTS PROVIDE OUR WISH FAMILIES THE OPPORTUNITY TO REUNITE AND NETWORK WITH OTHER WISH FAMILIES FOR SUPPORT AND CAMARADERIE. |
| FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 11B | THE FOUNDATION WORKED CLOSELY WITH AN INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM ENGAGED TO PREPARE THE FORM 990. THE DRAFT FORM 990 PREPARED BY THE ACCOUNTING FIRM WAS REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY THE FOUNDATION'S VP OF FINANCE & OPERATIONS. THE RETURN WAS THEN PRESENTED TO THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE AND FINANCE COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD, COMPOSED OF FINANCIAL PROFESSIONALS, FOR THEIR REVIEW. SUBSEQUENT TO THE COMMITTEE'S APPROVAL, A COMPLETE COPY OF THE FORM 990 WAS PROVIDED TO ALL VOTING MEMBERS PRIOR TO FILING WITH THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE. |
| FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 12C | THE FOUNDATION MAINTAINS A CONFLICT OF INTEREST AND ETHICS STATEMENT AS PROVIDED BY THE MAKE-A-WISH FOUNDATION OF AMERICA FOR EACH OFFICER, EMPLOYEE, BOARD MEMBER, AND VOLUNTEER. SUCH STATEMENTS MUST BE SIGNED UPON DATE OF HIRE, ELECTION, OR COMMENCEMENT OF VOLUNTEER SERVICE, AND AT LEAST ANNUALLY THEREAFTER. THE SIGNED STATEMENTS ARE THEN SUBMITTED TO AND REVIEWED BY THE VOLUNTEER COORDINATOR IF THEY ARE FROM VOLUNTEERS, AND THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER IF FROM STAFF AND BOARD MEMBERS. REVIEW OF THE STATEMENTS IS MONITORED BY THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER. THE PROCEDURES FOR ADDRESSING ANY CONFLICTS OF INTEREST OF WHICH THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER BECOMES AWARE INCLUDES, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO, THE FOLLOWING: (1) DETERMINING THE NATURE OF THE CONFLICT VIA VERBAL OR WRITTEN COMMUNICATION WITH THE INTERESTED PERSON; (2) FULLY DISCLOSING CONFLICTING INTERESTS TO THE BOARD; (3) THE CONFLICTED PERSON RECUSES HIMSELF/HERSELF FROM DELIBERATIONS AND DECISIONS REGARDING THE TRANSACTION; AND (4) TAKING APPROPRIATE ACTIONS WARRANTED BY THE CONFLICT AS RECOMMENDED BY THE BOARD UP TO AND INCLUDING TERMINATION OF SERVICE. |
| FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 15A | FOR 2018 COMPENSATION, THE CEO'S COMPENSATION WAS DETERMINED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS, CONSISTING OF INDEPENDENT PERSONS. IT WAS REVIEWED AGAINST LOCAL AND REGIONAL SALARY LEVELS FOR NONPROFIT CEOS BASED ON THE BOARDS FAMILIARITY WITH THESE POSITIONS. THE BOARD'S DISCUSSIONS AND DECISIONS WERE CONTEMPORANEOUSLY DOCUMENTED. FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 15B: THE SAME PROCESS LISTED ABOVE IS USED FOR OTHER STAFF, USING THE SAME INSTRUMENTS. SALARIES FOR STAFF OTHER THAN THE CEO ARE DECIDED BY THE CEO IN CONSULTATION WITH THE EMPLOYEE'S IMMEDIATE SUPERVISOR WITHIN LIMITS SET BY THE BOARD-APPROVED BUDGET. ALL SALARY INCREASES ARE BASED ON METRICS FROM PERFORMANCE REVIEWS. |
| FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION C, LINE 19 | WHILE FEDERAL TAX LAWS DO NOT MANDATE THAT THE ORGANIZATION'S GOVERNING DOCUMENTS, CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS BE MADE AVAILABLE FOR PUBLIC INSPECTION, THE ORGANIZATION MAKES ITS AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND FORM 990 AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST AND ON ITS WEBSITE. GOVERNING DOCUMENTS AND CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICIES ARE ALSO AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST WITH INSPECTION AT AN OFFICE OF THE ORGANIZATION. |
| FORM 990, PART X, LINE 27: | THROUGH THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING AUGUST 31, 2018, THE FOUNDATION ACCRUED FOR ESTIMATED COSTS OF REPORTABLE PENDING WISHES WHEN FIVE CERTAIN, MEASURABLE WISH CRITERIA WERE MET. THIS ACCRUAL DID NOT REPRESENT A LEGALLY BINDING LIABILITY BUT WAS CONSIDERED A MORAL OBLIGATION TO THE CHILD BY THE FOUNDATION ARISING WHEN THE FIVE CRITERIA WERE MET. GIVEN THE CHANGES TO THE WISH GRANTING ENVIRONMENT THAT HAVE OCCURRED IN RECENT YEARS, THE FOUNDATION DETERMINED THAT THE CALCULATION WAS NO LONGER REPRESENTATIVE OF THE FUTURE OBLIGATIONS. THE FOUNDATION REMAINS COMMITTED TO ITS MISSION. AS A RESULT OF THIS CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLE, NET ASSETS WITHOUT RESTRICTION AS OF SEPTEMBER 1, 2018 HAVE INCREASED BY $1,350,568. |
