DescriptionTHE MAKE-A-WISH FOUNDATION OF COLORADO GRANTS THE WISHES OF COLORADO CHILDREN WITH LIFE THREATENING MEDICAL CONDITIONS TO ENRICH THE HUMAN EXPERIENCE WITH HOPE, STRENGTH AND JOY. IN FISCAL YEAR 2012-2013 WE GRANTED 245 WISHES FOR COLORADO CHILDREN BETWEEN THE AGES OF 2.5 UP TO THE AGE OF 18. WE GRANT THE WISHES OF EVERY MEDICALLY ELIGIBLE CHILD IN THE STATE WHO IS REFERRED TO US AND HAVE NEVER DENIED THE WISH OF A QUALIFIED COLORADO CHILD. SINCE THE FOUNDATIONN WAS FOUNDED IN 1983, MORE THAN 4,166 CHILDREN HAVE BENEFITED FROM THE MAGIC OF A WISH. TOTAL PROGRAM SERVICE EXPENSES GRANTED FOR THE FISCAL YEAR WERE $2,374,403. OF THIS AMOUNT, $103,451 WAS CONTRIBUTED BY VARIOUS VENDORS WHO PROVIDED IN KIND CONTRIBUTIONS SUCH AS TRAVEL AND TRAVEL SERVICES, TRANSPORTATION, LODGING, AND OTHER SERVISES AND USE OF FACILITIES TO COMPLETE A CHILD9S WISH. FOR FINANCIAL STATEMENT PURPOSES, THESE AMOUNTS ARE INCLUDED AS CONTRIBUTIONS REVENUE AND GRANTED WISH EXPENSE. FOR FORM 990, HOWEVER, THE IRS REQUIRES THE $103,451 OF CONTRIBUTED SERVICES AND USE OF FACILITIES BE EXCLUDED FROM BOTH REVENUE AND EXPENSE.Description
