Mission and Program Overview
Mission
To grant weddings and vow renewals to couples facing terminal illness or other serious life-altering circumstances, regardless of sexual orientation. Often, couples facing such situations do not have the energy, time, money, or resources needed to plan their wedding. Our organization takes care of all the details, offering couples a chance to relax and enjoy a very special day while surrounded by the love of their closest family and friends.
Weddings/vow renewals for couples facing serious illness or life-altering circumstances.

“The organization amended its bylaws in april 2015. Among the numerous changes made to the original bylaws, changes included the number and tenure of the board of directors, update of officer descriptions and duties, detail of financial policies, and inclusion of a conflict of interest policy and dispute resolution policy.”
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 8B
“No committeees with authority to act on behalf of the governing body convened in 2015.”
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11
“Two weeks prior to a board meeting, the treasurer or secretary will send all board members copies of the organization's return via email. During the next scheduled board meeting all board members will review the return. The treasurer or president will verbally review the information contained within. The board members will take turns reading out loud the descriptive portions of the return. A board member will make a motion to approve the return as reviewed. Another board member will second the motion. A 2/3 vote will be needed to approve the return. The return may then be filed.”
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12C
“Once a year, the conflict of interest policy is read out load at all chapters. Board members are encouraged to engage in conversation regarding the policy. If needed, new amendments will be drafted to update the existing policy.”
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15A
“A committee consisting of the president and the treasurer drafted an employment contract for the executive director offering non-exempt employment at the califonia minimum wage of $8/hour with an expectation of 40 hours/week, and with provisions for overtime pay as required by state law. As this was the minimum possible wage, no separate comparability data was obtained. During negotiations, the offer was raised to $12/hour, and this increased offer was accepted. The full board of directors then voted to approve the employment contract at a board meeting and the results of the vote were documented in the meeting minutes.”
Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19
“The organization's articles of incorporation, bylaws, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements are available by email request to [email protected] or by us mail to p.o. Box 1141, santa clara, ca 95052.”

A LIMITED NUMBER OF OTHER SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCE WISHES ARE GRANTED PER YEAR. WISH UPON A WEDDING HAS A STRINGENT SET OF CHECKS AND BALANCES IN PLACE IN REGARDS TO THE WISH GRANTING PROCEDURES, AND REQUIRES THAT ALL CHAPTERS ENFORCE THESE POLICIES AT ALL TIMES. ALL WISH APPLICANTS UNDERGO A SCREENING PROCESS THAT INCLUDES SEVERAL BACKGROUND CHECKS (INCLUDING HIPAA), DIRECT CONTACT FROM A CHAPTER BOARD, AND ONLINE SEARCHES TO ENSURE MEDICAL LICENSES ARE CURRENT. BOARD MEMBERS ARE REQUIRED TO OBTAIN A HIPPA FORM (HEALTH INSURANCE PORTABILITY AND ACCOUNTABILITY ACT) WHICH IS SIGNED BY THE WISH APPLICANT AND MEDICAL PROVIDER. THIS PERMITS THE DISCLOSURE OF PERSONAL HEALTH INFORMATION NEEDED TO ESTABLISH WHETHER THE APPLICANT STATING ILLNESS QUALIFIES FOR A WISH. AFTER THE HIPPA FORM IS RECEIVED, BOARD MEMBERS MUST CONTACT THE DOCTOR'S OFFICE DIRECTLY AND SPEAK WITH THE OFFICE STAFF ABOUT THE APPLICANT'S CONDITION. THIS CALL ESTABLISHES ANY SPECIAL NEEDS THE APPLICANT MAY HAVE, AND ENABLES THE ORGANIZATION TO LEARN OF ANY SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS SUGGESTED BY THE MEDICAL CARE PROVIDER. BOARD MEMBERS ALSO CONDUCT AN ONLINE SEARCH OF THE MEDICAL PROVIDER TO VERIFY THE CURRENT STATUS OF THE DOCTOR'S MEDICAL LICENSE NUMBER. A SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCE WISH WOULD BE ONE IN WHICH THE COUPLE IS NOT TERMINALLY ILL, BUT HAS FACED OTHER SIGNIFICANT MEDICAL CHALLENGES OR HARDSHIPS. TWO BOARD MEMBERS ARE REQUIRED TO INTERVIEW THE COUPLE, AND THE COUPLE MUST PROVIDE THREE REFERENCES. THIS TYPE OF WISH REQUIRES A 2/3 VOTE OF A QUORUM OF THE CHAPTER BOARD. |
