Women for Wishes is more than a fundraising campaign it is a powerful opportunity to help transform the lives of children facing critical illness and to bring hope to them and their families when they need it most.

By joining, you will:

1. Create lasting impact: Helping us in our mission to grant life changing wishes for every eligible child living in Australia.
2. Connect with inspiring women: Join a community of passionate, like-minded women who are committed to philanthropy and making a meaningful change.
3. Be part of something bigger: Share in the power of women coming together with purpose, drive and compassion.
4. See the difference you make: Hear incredible stories of resilience and strength from our Wish Mothers whose lives have been touched by a wish.

We understand that fundraising can feel like a significant undertaking. At Make-A-Wish, we are deeply grateful for every effort made—because every dollar raised helps bring a wish closer to reality.

Make-A-Wish receives no government funding and relies entirely on the generosity of donors like you to make wishes come true.

If you need support along the way, we are here to help:

1. Stay connected with us: Let us know how you’re progressing—we are here to support you, not just at the end, but throughout the campaign
2. Access personalised support: We can provide tailored resources, ideas, and encouragement to help you achieve your goal.
3. Know your impact matters: Every contribution, large or small, has an impact.

Absolutely - and we warmly encourage it. Many of our most successful and rewarding fundraising journeys happen through collaboration.

You can:

1. Form a team: Bring together friends, colleagues, or family members to share the experience and amplify your impact.
2. Create shared experiences: Host events or challenges together, making fundraising more meaningful, enjoyable, and powerful.
3. Support individually: If you prefer to make your own personal and meaningful contribution.

Not at all. Women for Wishes is for every woman who wants to make a difference.

Whether you are early in your career, a senior leader, working part-time or full-time, retired, or returning to work—we welcome you. What matters most is your desire to contribute to something meaningful, helping to bring joy and hope to children who need it.

Yes—and we actively encourage it. Women for Wishes is built on connection as much as contribution.

We encourage participants to join our Linkedln and sign up to our updates. We hope our participants find that the relationships formed through Women for Wishes become a lasting source of inspiration, support and friendship, well beyond the campaign itself.

At Make-A-Wish, we are here to support you every step of the way, with personalised guidance where needed.

Some of the most successful approaches include:

• Setting up your fundraising page at registration to share your participation and track progress.

• Hosting small or larger-scale events, such as dinner parties or raffles.
• Marking special occasions—birthdays, anniversaries or milestones—by inviting donations in lieu of gifts.
• Engaging your workplace through matched giving or by hosting a team fundraising initiative.
