Wheels For Wishes

Wheels For Wishes is a non-profit national car donation organization based in Minnetonka, Minnesota, which donates its net proceeds to the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Wheels For Wishes is a United States-based 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.[1] In 2015, a widely publicized report alleged that only 20% of proceeds were used to support charitable goals. News reports highlighted the fact that key staffers of Wheels for Wishes (formally, the "Car Donation Foundation") were also owners of two related businesses that were paid a total of $36 million by the charity from 2011 to 2014.[2] At least one report went so far as to call its program "a misleading scam."[3]
