How does TWF determine if a wish is to be granted?

Wish applications are reviewed at monthly Wish Committee Meetings for eligibility and discussion of resources needed for ways to grant wishes.  In-kind services, donors and volunteers may be contacted to help grant wishes. All wishes are granted based on funding and we may place the wish on our website for specific wish donations.   

Selection of recipients is at the sole discretion of the Twilight Wish Foundation.

Restrictions on types of wishes

Twilight Wish Foundation (TWF) grants qualifying wishes as funding and resources are available. TWF reserves the right to deny requests for any purpose in conflict with the mission of TWF.  TWF will deny the following types of wishes:
