How Can I Request A Twilight Wish And Who Qualifies To Receive One?

Applications may be submitted for yourself or on behalf of someone else. Please either fill out the online application or download it below. Or, if you would like us to mail you a Twilight Wish application, contact our office at 877-TWF-WISH (893-9474).

Twilight Wish provides wish granting applications, services, and products FREE OF CHARGE to the Twilight Wish recipient. There are NEVER ANY APPLICATION FEES.

If you want to submit a Twilight Wish application, whether this request is for a Simple Needs Wish (e.g. a wheelchair), Living Life to the Fullest Wish (e.g. going to a ball game), or Celebrating a Life Wish (e.g. visiting your hometown one more time), we look forward to learning about your wish and how we can make your dream come true.

Twilight Wish Recipient Requirements

Qualifying Twilight Wish recipients must meet all the following requirements:

Must be 65 years of age or a permanent resident of an eldercare facility
Legal United States citizenship
An annual income of less than 200% of current federal government published poverty level income (2017 – $23,760 or less annual income for a household of one) or be unable to grant own wish (not including financial reasons)
History of giving back to others (through service to our nation, community or family)
Must be cognitively and physically capable of communicating and experiencing the wish
Physician documentation (when requested)

Note: Proof of age, income, personal history, physical condition per a physician’s letter, and citizenship are conditions of this application and must be provided if requested for the wish to be granted.

How Does Twilight Wish Determine If Your Wish Can Be Granted?

The Twilight Wish Committee meets on a monthly basis to review new applications and determine the eligibility of the Twilight Wish Applicants and the Twilight Wish Requests.

The Nominee must meet all the Twilight Wish Requirements, understand the Twilight Wish Restrictions, and include complete documentation with their application. Some wishes are restricted and cannot be granted as they are not in alignment with our Twilight Wish core values.

Twilight Wish Foundation grants qualifying wishes as funding and resources become available. We may contact sponsors and volunteers to help grant wishes. We typically place wishes on our website and grant them when funding becomes available.

TWF reserves the right to deny requests for any purpose in conflict with the mission of TWF. We do our best to respond within 60 days of receipt of an application. If you have any questions, please contact 1-877-TWF-WISH.
