Toy Industry Foundation (TIF) is the philanthropic arm of the North
American toy industry and was created by the Toy Industry Association
(formerly Toy Manufacturers of America) as the first toy industry-wide
charitable organization. TIF relies solely on monetary and in-kind
donations from toy industry members and the public to address the
obstacles which can stand in the way of children’s access to
play.
While other organizations provide food, shelter and support services
to children in need and their families, TIF sees to it that these
children have toys and opportunities to play in an attempt to restore
both fun and a sense of normalcy to their lives. The Foundation
currently fulfills its mission through core programs including The Toy
BankTM, public education initiatives, and
grants to organizations whose missions are in line with that of the Toy
Industry Foundation.
