Partner

As an independent children's charity, we rely solely on the generosity of our partners, communities and supporters to make wishes happen. We invite businesses and organisations to join us and ensure no child misses out on a life-changing Wish Journey.

Why partner with us?

Make-A-Wish is one of Australia's best-loved children’s charities and part of the largest wish-granting organisation in the world.

In December 2020, we were proud to again place among Australia's 'Top 20' most reputable charities*, recognising both our mission and how we go about creating impact together with our volunteers, partners and supporters.

Ability to differentiate your brand through alignment with an inspirational cause
Engage, inspire and deepen staff and customer relationships by making a meaningful impact together

It was heart-warming to see Qantas employees, from all over, volunteer their time to help make Dwayne’s wish come true. From check-in, the lounge, our flight and cabin crew, and the engineering, ramp, and freight teams, it’s really been all hands-on deck to make this a reality.
