| FORM 990, PART I, LINE 1: | MAKE-A-WISH FOUNDATION OF NEW JERSEY INC. CREATES LIFE-CHANGING WISHES FOR CHILDREN WITH CRITICAL ILLNESSES. FORM 990, PART I, LINE 6: VOLUNTEERS CONTRIBUTE HOURS FOR WISH-GRANTING, FUNDRAISING, OR ADMINISTRATIVE ACTIVITIES. |
| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 1: | MAKE-A-WISH FOUNDATION OF NEW JERSEY INC. GRANTS THE WISHES OF CHILDREN, AGES 2 1/2 TO 18, WITH CRITICAL ILLNESSES. MAKE-A-WISH FOUNDATION OF NEW JERSEY INC. IS A NON-PROFIT 501(C)(3) ORGANIZATION GOVERNED BY A DIVERSE AND RESPECTED VOLUNTEER BOARD OF DIRECTORS. WE ARE CHARTERED UNDER THE AUSPICES OF MAKE-A-WISH FOUNDATION OF AMERICA IN PHOENIX, ARIZONA.

| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A: | THROUGH THE INCREDIBLE GENEROSITY OF OUR DONORS, THE DEDICATION OF OUR VOLUNTEERS, THE COMMUNITY, AND THE TIRELESS SUPPORT OF OUR STAFF ENSURING WISHES BECOME REALITY, MAKE-A-WISH FOUNDATION OF NEW JERSEY, INC. GRANTED 250 WISHES FOR THE YEAR ENDED AUGUST 31, 2020. THIS WAS MUCH LOWER THAN OUR AVERAGE VOLUME OF 561 WISHES OVER THE PRIOR THREE YEARS, DUE TO THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC. ON MARCH 10, 2020, MAKE-A-WISH AMERICA, WITH ITS MEDICAL ADVISORY COUNCIL, MADE THE DECISION TO PAUSE TRAVEL AND LARGE GATHERING WISHES UNTIL DEEMED MEDICALLY SAFE FOR OUR VULNERABLE CHILDREN AND THEIR FAMILIES. THIS PAUSE IN TRAVEL RESULTED IN FEWER TRAVEL WISHES GRANTED WHICH OVER THE PAST THREE YEARS WERE APPROXIMATELY 78% OF WISHES GRANTED. AS OF AUGUST 31, 2020 THERE WERE 516 CHILDREN IN OUR PIPELINE ELIGIBLE FOR A WISH, WHICH WAS 38% HIGHER THAN THE PRIOR YEAR, PRIMARILY DUE TO THE TEMPORARY PAUSE ON TRAVEL. IN ADDITION, THE PROGRAM EXPENSE RATIO WAS IMPACTED BY REDUCING IT FROM 79% IN THE PRIOR YEAR TO 67% THIS YEAR. THE TOTAL COST OF THE WISHES GRANTED FOR THE FISCAL YEAR WAS $2.1 MILLION. OF THIS AMOUNT, APPROXIMATELY $728,000 WAS CONTRIBUTED BY VARIOUS VENDORS WHO PROVIDED IN-KIND CONTRIBUTIONS SUCH AS TRAVEL AND TRAVEL SERVICES, TRANSPORTATION, LODGING, OTHER SERVICES, AND USE OF FACILITIES TO COMPLETE A CHILD'S WISH. FOR FINANCIAL STATEMENT PURPOSES, AN ADDITIONAL $294,000 OF CONTRIBUTED SERVICES ARE INCLUDED AS CONTRIBUTION REVENUE AND GRANTED WISH EXPENSE. FOR FORM 990, HOWEVER, THE IRS REQUIRES THAT CONTRIBUTED SERVICES AND USE OF FACILITIES BE EXCLUDED FROM BOTH REVENUE AND EXPENSES. WE CURRENTLY HAVE APPROXIMATELY 354 VOLUNTEERS AND WELCOME OTHER INTERESTED INDIVIDUALS. MAKE-A-WISH FOUNDATION OF NEW JERSEY INC. HAS GRANTED APPROXIMATELY 11,100 WISHES SINCE INCEPTION. NATIONALLY, MAKE-A-WISH AMERICA HAS GRANTED MORE THAN 340,000 WISHES SINCE 1980. |
