Toy Association Creates COVID-19 Toolkits for Businesses

April 16, 2020 | The Toy Association has rolled out new toolkits to help companies respond to the COVID-19 crisis.

"With great uncertainty remaining for the foreseeable future, businesses are struggling to navigate an onslaught of information and weed through the many resources and programs available to determine which may best benefit their companies and their employees during these difficult times,” said Steve Pasierb, president & CEO at The Toy Association. “We responded to the needs expressed by our members and encourage all to use these toolkits to gain easy access to key information they need to make informed next steps.

The Business Toolkit includes: government funding information and forms from the Department of the Treasury and the Small Business Administration (SBA); the latest updates on federal economic relief packages; access to The Toy Association’s on-demand COVID-19 business webinars; guidance from the Department of Labor; state and trade updates; and information on other small-business relief programs.

The Retailer Toolkit includes: resources provided by the National Retail Federation (NRF); access to exclusive COVID-19 business webinars; links to additional policy trackers and protective measures; and more.

The Toy Association will continue to update these new resources with the latest information and materials to help members navigate and rebuild from the COVID-19 crisis. Toolkits are available to all members of the toy and play community through The Toy Association’s existing COVID-19 resource center.
