The Times-Picayune Doll and Toy Fund

The Times-Picayune Doll and Toy Fund is a 501(c) (3) non-profit organization that began in 1896, whose mission is to bring joy to children of families in need in the New Orleans area. The Fund fundraises throughout the year for monetary donations in order to purchase toys, school supplies, snacks and more for as many children as possible. The Fund holds an annual Toy Distribution the Saturday prior to Christmas Day, where all children ages 12 and under are welcome to attend.

The Times-Picayune Doll & Toy Fund only accepts monetary donations. With your donated dollars, we are able to purchase many more toys at wholesale or at discount, allowing us to stretch every dollar.

The non-profit Fund is managed by a volunteer-based Board of Directors. All donations and membership fees go towards the purchasing of toys and the production of the annual Toy Distribution event.
