| PART III, LINE 4A | IT IS THE FOUNDING PRINCIPLE OF OUR VISION TO GRANT THE WISH OF EVERY ELIGIBLE CHILD, BETWEEN THE AGES OF 2 1/2 AND 18. FOR WISH KIDS, JUST THE ACT OF MAKING THEIR WISH COME TRUE CAN GIVE THEM THE COURAGE TO COMPLY WITH THEIR MEDICAL TREATMENTS. WITH OUR WISH MAKING PROCESS WE STRIVE TO BRING A SENSE OF EXCITEMENT AND HOPE DURING EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TIMES AND DELIVER A JOYFUL LIFE CHANGING EXPERIENCE WHETHER THE WISH IS A PRINCESS PARTY, SWIM WITH THE DOLPHINS, OR THE COUNTLESS OTHER POSSIBILITIES DREAMED UP BY THE MAGICAL MIND OF A CHILD. THE MAKE-A-WISH FOUNDATION OF COLORADO GRANTED 347 LIFE CHANGING WISHES IN THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING AUGUST 31, 2025. THE TOTAL COST OF WISHES GRANTED FOR THE FISCAL YEAR WAS $6,819,315. OF THIS AMOUNT, $865,850 WAS CONTRIBUTED BY VARIOUS VENDORS WHO PROVIDED IN-KIND CONTRIBUTIONS SUCH AS TRAVEL AND TRAVEL SERVICES, TRANSPORTATION, LODGING, AND OTHER SERVICES AND USE OF FACILITIES TO COMPLETE A CHILD'S WISH. FOR FINANCIAL STATEMENT PURPOSES, THESE AMOUNTS ARE INCLUDED AS CONTRIBUTION REVENUE AND GRANTED WISH EXPENSE. FOR FORM 990, HOWEVER, THE IRS REQUIRES THIS AMOUNT BE EXCLUDED FROM BOTH REVENUE AND EXPENSE. |
| FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION A, LINE 2 | MICHAEL WAGNER AND MARLEY WAGNER HAVE A FAMILY RELATIONSHIP. |
| FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION A, LINE 8B | THERE ARE NO EXECUTIVE COMMITTEES THAT HAVE BEEN DELEGATED AUTHORITY TO ACT ON BEHALF OF THE GOVERNING BODY. |
| FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 11B | THE FORM 990 IS REVIEWED BY THE FOUNDATION'S CEO AND LEADERSHIP TEAM. THE FORM 990 IS THEN REVIEWED BY THE ORGANIZATION'S FINANCE AND EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE. SUBSEQUENT TO THE COMMITTEE'S FINAL APPROVAL, A COPY OF THE FORM 990 IS PROVIDED TO ALL VOTING MEMBERS OF THE BOARD PRIOR TO FILING WITH THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE. |
| FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 12C | THE FOUNDATION ADHERES TO A CONFLICT OF INTEREST AND ETHICS POLICY PROVIDED BY THE MAKE-A-WISH FOUNDATION OF AMERICA, APPLICABLE TO ALL OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, BOARD MEMBERS, AND VOLUNTEERS. EACH INDIVIDUAL IS REQUIRED TO SIGN A CONFLICT OF INTEREST AND ETHICS STATEMENT UPON THEIR HIRE, ELECTION, OR COMMENCEMENT OF VOLUNTEER SERVICE AND RENEW IT ANNUALLY THEREAFTER. SIGNED STATEMENTS ARE SUBMITTED TO AND REVIEWED BY THE VOLUNTEER COORDINATOR FOR VOLUNTEERS, AND BY THE CEO FOR STAFF AND BOARD MEMBERS. THE CEO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR MONITORING THE REVIEW PROCESS. WHEN A POTENTIAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST IS IDENTIFIED, THE CEO DETERMINES THE NATURE OF THE CONFLICT THROUGH VERBAL OR WRITTEN COMMUNICATION WITH THE INDIVIDUAL INVOLVED. THE CONFLICT IS THEN FULLY DISCLOSED TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS, AND THE INDIVIDUAL IN QUESTION IS REQUIRED TO RECUSE THEMSELVES FROM DISCUSSIONS AND DECISIONS RELATED TO THE MATTER. BASED ON THE RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE BOARD, APPROPRIATE ACTIONS ARE IMPLEMENTED, WHICH MAY INCLUDE TERMINATION OF SERVICE. THIS PROCESS ENSURES TRANSPARENCY AND INTEGRITY IN ALL ASPECTS OF THE FOUNDATION'S OPERATIONS. |
| FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 15 | THE PRESIDENT & CEO'S COMPENSATION IS TYPICALLY DETERMINED BY AN INDEPENDENT COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS TO ENSURE FAIRNESS AND TRANSPARENCY. THE COMMITTEE REVIEWS COMPREHENSIVE COMPARABILITY DATA, INCLUDING SALARY SURVEYS, LOCAL AND NATIONAL BENCHMARKING STUDIES, AND NONPROFIT SECTOR ANALYSES, TAILORED TO THE ORGANIZATION'S SIZE, BUDGET, AND LOCATION. SOURCES OFTEN INCLUDE INDUSTRY-SPECIFIC ORGANIZATIONS AND PLATFORMS SUCH AS CHARITY NAVIGATOR OR GUIDESTAR. THE DECISION-MAKING PROCESS IS CAREFULLY DOCUMENTED TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE AND ACCOUNTABILITY. DOCUMENTATION INCLUDES THE TERMS OF THE COMPENSATION PACKAGE, THE DATE OF APPROVAL, THE NAMES OF COMMITTEE MEMBERS INVOLVED, VOTING RECORDS, AND DETAILS OF THE COMPARABILITY DATA USED.
