NEW YORK, NY | February 16, 2026 | All Toy Fair® exhibitors are encouraged to donate toys, books, games, and other playthings to The Toy Foundation’s (TTF) Toy Chest at the close of the show. Toy donations of any size and quantity are accepted and offer and a meaningful way to wrap up Toy Fair — by delivering the power of play directly into the hands of children in need.
The donation process is simple and easy:
- Submit a donation form online by February 17.
- Pick up TTF donation stickers and clear collection bags (for small or soft items only) at show info counters, the show office, service desks, and/or the Toy PLAYce Lounge (Booth 3127).
- Leave donated products in one area of your booth marked with a sticker.
- TTF volunteers will pick up the donated product following the close of Toy Fair. Exhibitor staff do not need to wait for volunteers.
TTF, the official nonprofit partner of Toy Fair and philanthropic arm of The Toy Association™, will distribute all donated toys to children in need across New York City, nationwide, and around the world through its Toy Chest program.
Toy Chest is the only industry-wide giving initiative that works year-round to collect and distribute companies’ toy donations to children when they need it most. The program unites the industry’s toy donations of all sizes to create an impact in the lives of children undergoing medical treatment, living in the aftermath of a natural disaster, and otherwise in need. Since 2003, Toy Chest has delivered toys and provided comfort, joy and the benefits of play to more than 38 million children.
