Donate
Your gift will help bring joy to a homeless child on their birthday. There are many
ways you can contribute!
The parties we throw happen only because of the support of our donors and volunteers.
We receive the majority of our funding from individual donors like you. Every gift
makes a difference! ($15 provides the birthday cake for a medium-size party).

- Make a Tribute Gift through our Birthday
Pals program.
Donations make great gifts for any occasions – birthdays, weddings, bar/bat-mitzvahs,
and any special occasion. When you give a donation as a gift, the recipient will
receive a special card from us and their name will be featured on the Birthday Pal
section of our website. They will know they have helped to make a homeless child’s
birthday wish come true. Submit the Birthday Pal form from the link above either
online or download and mail.
- Sponsor a Party or Shelter
For a $400 donation, bring a birthday party to a homeless child and all the residents
of their shelter. One afternoon of joy that will bring years of memories. For a
$5,000 donation, sponsor parties at one shelter for a full year. Bring the joy of
a birthday party to every child living in your sponsored shelter.
- Make an in-kind donation:
We go through a lot of cakes, juice boxes, goody-bags, helium & balloons, decorations,
gifts and piñatas, etc. See our wish list and
donation guidelines for our current needs
- Volunteer your time
- Throw a Birthday Wishes Birthday Party!
An impressively growing number of young people are choosing to support Birthday
Wishes as the "theme" of their birthday parties. We provide a template invitation
that invites all attendees to bring an item for Birthday Wishes to the party (this
is done either in lieu of or in addition to gifts for the birthday child – its up
to you!). When you bring in your items from the party we'll take a picture of the
birthday child w/ their donations for our newsletter. This is an activity that our
future philanthropists can really relate to!
