Who We Are

Welcome to The Granted Wish Foundation. Thank you for taking time to visit our website. Please take a moment to explore, get to know us and perhaps become involved in touching someone's life. The Granted Wish Foundation is here to help make wishes come true—and I give my deepest gratitude to the many volunteers, sponsors and contributors for sharing your time, talents and souls with those less fortunate. May the power of a Granted Wish always be in your heart!

Our Mission

The Granted Wish Foundation is a national, non-profit organization committed to granting wishes to disadvantaged or disabled individuals and families.

Some Fast Facts:
  • Established in 2005, The Granted Wish Foundation expanded in late 2007.
  • National, non-profit organization registered with the State of Ohio with Headquarters in Canton, Ohio.
  • Presided over by The Granted Wish Foundation's Board of Governors.
  • IRC 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status by the IRS.

Why We Exist

With so many individuals and families struggling on a day-to-day basis, and no other organizations to help, we realized there was a strong need and an opportunity to make a significant difference. Now, when people need somewhere to turn, The Granted Wish Foundation is here to help them get through those rough times and personal challenges.

How We're Different

While some wish-granting organizations focus solely on children, or the terminally ill, The Granted Wish Foundation grants wishes to individuals of all ages and across a wide-variety of needs. Some notable areas of focus are:

Board of Governors

Rodney L. Napier - Chairman
Stefanie R. Coletti - Secretary
Reverend Michael Balash - Treasurer
Douglas Waikem - Governor
Patricia Zindle - Governor
