We believe in the healing power of play to comfort children where they need it most.
Play Fund is the only industry-wide funding initiative that distributes grants to children’s hospitals and disaster zones to comfort children where they need it most. Since 2021, Play Fund has comforted more than 500,000 children with the healing power of play.
Part of The Toy Association™, Play Fund is members’ opportunity to advance corporate social responsibility efforts by providing play opportunities in hospital settings and after disaster strikes.
Through the industry’s united support, we have helped supply playrooms, coping kits, and many other play-based activities nationwide and around the world.
Help Deliver the Power of Play to Children in Need
Sensory play experiences, playroom enhancements, and medical play are among the many play projects that have been funded through 80 grants.
Children’s hospitals and health systems in the U.S. are invited to apply to a grant to support play-related projects and activities. The next grant application will open in fall 2025 to support projects taking place in 2026.
Cash donations help us quickly support communities destroyed by natural disasters and conflicts. Product donations can also be made by submitting a product donation form.
We are grateful to our program partners for their collaboration and support in delivering the benefits of play to all children in need.
Thank you to our partners within the industry whose support plays a critical role in delivering the power of play to children in need.
