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.

Twilight Wish Foundation reserves the right to deny requests for any purpose in conflict with the mission of Twilight Wish Foundation. 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.
