The Toy Foundation™ is the uniting force for the collective philanthropy of the toy industry to benefit all children in need.
The Toy Foundation Inc’s recent grantmaking is centered on children who need play, comfort, and direct material support, with one grant standing out: $35,051,458 to World Vision Seattle in 2025 for general support. That scale frames a pattern of large unrestricted awards alongside smaller grants to community organizations that serve children through hospitals, relief work, and enrichment programs. The foundation’s portfolio also includes six- and seven-figure grants to groups such as Win Warehouse Mission St Louis, Ministerios Mahanaim, and Convoy of Hope, showing a broad network of recipients rather than a single-service model. Across the recent record, the foundation appears to support both national intermediaries and place-based nonprofits that deliver toys, goods, and child-focused services. Some grants are tied to the toy industry’s own workforce pipeline, while others go to organizations working with children facing hardship. That mix aligns with the foundation’s stated role as the collective philanthropy of the toy industry, with giving that reaches pediatric care settings, disaster response, and youth opportunity. The recent grants also show repeated support to a number of organizations over multiple years, suggesting ongoing relationships rather than one-time awards.
A major theme in the recent grants is general support for organizations serving children in need. The foundation gave $3,032,731 to World Vision - Seattle in 2024, $2,837,400 to Win Warehouse Mission St Louis in 2023, and $1,372,916 to Convoy of Hope in 2024, all as unrestricted support. The foundation also funds child-focused relief and enrichment groups. It awarded $986,076 to Delivering Goods in New York in 2024 and $136,485 to Delivering Good in New York in 2023, indicating support for material assistance work. Workforce development appears as a smaller but distinct area. In 2023, The Toy Foundation Inc gave $102,550 to Life & Career Planning LLC in Monterey, Massachusetts, to support young people through internships in the toy industry. Hospital and child wellbeing programming is part of the broader mix, reflected in grants to organizations such as Hope for Henry Foundation in Washington, DC, and Brooklyn Youth Enrichment in Brooklyn, New York.
Typical awards cluster around a median of $25,000, with a lower quartile of $18,919 and an upper quartile of $95,814. The recent record also includes very large unrestricted grants, which push the distribution upward. Several recipients appear in more than one year, including World Vision in Seattle/Fife, Convoy of Hope, North Star Foundation, Delivering Good, Dream Center, and Jordan-related grantees, showing recurring support rather than purely one-time giving. The foundation makes grants nationally and also accepts unsolicited applications through active programs such as the Play Fund, Disaster Relief Fund, Toy Chest, and Play Fund — Disaster Relief.
