ABOUT THE WISH MACHINE
The Wish Machine invites the Forest Family to commit to spreading positivity through inspirational and charitable deeds in their community in exchange for a wish granted by Electric Forest.
This call for Forest dreams has generated thousands of inspiring commitments through the years. These have resulted in many real-world, positive impacts including donations to humanitarian efforts in Ukraine, an arts and crafts event for an Illinois Veterans home, the beautification of local walking trails, the creation of a mental health support group, and much more.
In exchange, the Wish Machine has granted everything from throwing a dream Forest Wedding, Wristbands to the Festival and facilitating a Mario Kart tournament for charity in the campgrounds, private performances from Forest favorites and headliners, and even Electric Forest performance slots - that helped launch careers in music!
Examples of appropriate wishes:
- If I volunteer at my local animal shelter, Electric Forest will provide brunch at my camp for myself and my campmates.
- If I organize a clean-up of my local nature preserve, Electric Forest will provide Wristbands for my cleanup crew!
- If I gather necessities to donate to a children’s shelter, Electric Forest will allow me to play a set at the Silent Disco.
Examples of inappropriate wishes:
- If I spread good vibes and magic, Electric Forest will give me free tickets.
- If I set up a non-profit, Electric Forest will donate $10,000 to it.
- If I am given the opportunity to perform at Electric Forest, then Electric Forest will be amazing!
Wish Granted
FIRST WISH GRANTED!
The Wish Machine has granted the first Wish for 2025! Kendall attended Electric Forest for the first time in 2024 and left inspired to get involved and give back to her own community in Buffalo, New York. Kendall’s Wish was for Good Life upgrades for her and her campmate in exchange for her volunteer work doing recreational therapy with veterans at the Buffalo VA Hospital.
“My grandfather, who is a veteran, inspired me to give back to those who have sacrificed so much for our country. Recreational therapy enhances veterans' overall well-being and empowers them to live with confidence and fulfillment. By volunteering, I can help create meaningful experiences that promote healing, self-expression, and a strong sense of community.” - Kendall
HQ will be providing Kendall with supplies for her upcoming volunteer work and would like to extend our sincerest gratitude to Kendall for making a difference in the lives of veterans in her community. Welcome to the Good Life, Kendall!
WISH GRANTED FOR MORGAN
The Wish Machine has powered up to grant the second wish of 2025! Morgan, a 10 in The Forest Family member, is passionate about making a positive impact on the lives of women in her community and beyond. Morgan wished for the opportunity to DJ at Electric Forest in exchange for hosting a feminine hygiene product drive for the non-profit Helping Women Period.
On International Women’s Day, Morgan produced and hosted an event called Femtronica, where she collected donations for the organization, which provides free menstrual products and education to those experiencing homelessness and/or financial hardship.
“I wish to uplift women and boost confidence by hosting a period supply drive to support Helping Women Period. Research shows that 1 in 5 girls in the United States have missed school due to a lack of access to basic hygiene products. This deficiency often goes unnoticed because of sheer embarrassment, resulting in absence from school and work and ultimately leading to a lack of confidence. Cleanliness and comfort should be a right, not a privilege.
My very first Electric Forest experience was in 2015, and I haven’t missed one since! The magic of Forest has lived within me for a decade, and I welcome the opportunity to spread more of that magic this year through my passion for music!
HQ is honored to grant Morgan’s Wish at Electric Forest 2025. Additionally, for Forest Family who would like to support Morgan’s efforts, The Brainery will accept new, unopened boxes of feminine products during daytime programming hours of 10 AM - 4 PM, Wednesday through Sunday. Bring a donation during those hours for a special Forest gift.
Keep an eye out on the schedule for Ganja Girl’s set and show up to support!
WISH GRANTED FOR JOSH!
Announcing the third Wish Granted! After attending his first Electric Forest in 2024, Josh left inspired to create a memorable experience for first-time Forest goers. He wished for HQ to organize the inaugural 1iTF (First in The Forest) Group Picture and meet-up for all first-timers at Electric Forest 2025, in exchange for donating food to a local non-profit cat shelter in his community.
Electric Forest taught me the magic of connecting with others, finding one's crew, and provided me with memories I will always cherish. I wanted my wish to be a way for newcomers like me to meet one another and to have that moment captured. I love that we can all find a home at Electric Forest no matter who we are.
I firmly believe all life is beautiful and deserves our compassion and a chance at happiness, which is why I donate to local animal shelters. By providing food, attention, and care to those who need it most, organizations like Stay-A-While Cat Shelter give those precious little lives a chance to connect with you too, and make memories that will last forever.
HQ will organize the first ever 1iTF Meet Up and Group Photo at Electric Forest 2025. Stay tuned for information on time and location to be announced soon!
