IWK Foundation

Make-A-Wish Atlantic Provinces grants wishes to children in the Atlantic region who are living with a critical illness. Our mission is to bring hope, strength, and joy into the lives of children to enrich the human experience. Funds donated to Make-A-Wish Atlantic Provinces stay in our region to help grant the wishes of children living with critical illnesses. We grant wishes to children between the ages of 3 to 17 who live in all four Atlantic Provinces. Based in Halifax, we are a small office consisting of three individuals. We rely on the support of volunteers across the region to help grant wishes for children living in all corners of Atlantic Canada.
