Make-A-Wish Mid-Atlantic is a midsize nonprofit organization serving Maryland, D.C., and northern Virginia, focused on creating life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses. Founded in 1983, it has granted more than 12,000 wishes in the Mid-Atlantic region since its inception. The organization is based in Bethesda, Maryland, and operates within the nonprofit sector to support local families confronting serious pediatric illness through wish experiences. The program targets local children diagnosed with critical illnesses and their families, aiming to provide experiences that can offer hope, strength, and joy. This year, about 840 local children are expected to be diagnosed, and for every wish granted there is at least one local child waiting for a wish. In July 2026, Disney Experiences announced a collaboration with Make-A-Wish, illustrating partnerships that support expanded wish experiences.
