What Fairy Godmother Foundation of New York Inc does
Mission
Improve the quality of life for children and young adults with medical and developmental challenges by granting meaningful dreams
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
In 2025, the Fairy Godmother Foundation of NY, Inc. granted 73 dreams to teens, and young adults facing serious medical challenges, including cancer, organ transplants, neurological disorders, and end-of-life illnesses. All recipients came from financially challenged families. Each dream was individually tailored to the recipient's needs and interests, often on short notice due to changing medical circumstances. Dreams included electronics such as phones, laptops, tablets, gaming systems, trips and special experiences, attendance at a professional football training camp for a young man with disabilities; an American Girl doll experience, concert and sporting event tickets, transportation not covered by insurance, in-hospital celebrations, shopping sprees, eye exams and glasses, subway-themed items for a teen with disabilities who is passionate about the New York City subway system; adaptive equipment, and college textbooks for a teen living with muscular dystrophy.
