How We Help

The Guelph Wish Fund for Children supports children in our community in 3 ways. Most importantly, we provide ‘wishes’ to children under the age of 19 and their families, residing in Guelph or Wellington County, who are living with a significant illness, life-altering injury or a rare and debilitating syndrome. A wish can be creating a memory of a special family vacation or attending a sporting event or meeting a famous hero. Or it can be attending to the physical needs of the child with help towards the purchase of specialized equipment. 

When the need and ability arise, the Guelph Wish Fund for Children may also partner and provide support to other local charities that clearly support our mandate (and our wish kids!). We also support local scholarships to deserving high school graduates.
