Airline Miles Donation Program: Wishes in Flight

 
Every year, the Foundation has a critical need for airline miles. More than 70 percent of our children’s wishes involve air travel, making plane tickets the most significant cost of our wish-granting program.
 
By donating your unused airline miles to the Foundation through our Wishes in FlightSM program, you will help to fulfill a child's travel-related wish.

 

 

Three ways to donate your miles

  • Complete and submit the form below.  Or, you can click here to download the form and mail or fax to our office.
     
  • Call our office at 1.888.354.9474. Donate your miles over the phone or request a form to be mailed to your home or office.
     
  • Enroll your company in a "miles-raising" campaign. 
    If your employees or co-workers accumulate airline miles during business travel, you can start a campaign to collect and donate those miles to our wish children! Contact the Foundation at 1.888.354.9474 or klayton@massri.wish.org to enroll your company.
 

Tax Deductibility

The IRS recognizes frequent flier miles as a gift or as an award from the corporation to the individual; therefore, miles donated to charity are not considered tax deductible.

 

Airline Minimum Donations

Please note that some airlines require you to donate a minimum number of airline miles.  United requires a 500 mile minimum; Delta requires a 1,000 mile minimum; and US Airways requires a 1,000 mile minimum.
