Through The Toy Bank, our signature program, the Toy Industry Foundation (TIF) collects toys from industry manufacturers, distributors and retailers and distributes them to children in need around the world.  The Toy Bank collects donations year-round through seasonal drives as well as collections at TIA trade shows American International Toy Fair® and Fall Toy Preview®, and distributes them to children living in poverty, rescued from abuse, seeking treatment for chronic illnesses, and going through many other difficult situations.

Thanks to the toy industry’s overwhelming generosity, over $60 million in new toys have been donated for hundreds of children’s charities since the program began in 2003!

How can my company help?

Please take the first step in donating any amount of new toys for kids in need by submitting our completed Product Donation Agreement.  If you are donating during Toy Fair or Fall Toy Preview, please visit the Toy Drives section of this site for an event-specific donation form.  Financial contributions in support of The Toy Bank are also greatly appreciated.
