A Foundation of Giving The Marine Toys for Tots Foundation is a recognized 501(c)(3) not-for-profit charity, which acts as the fundraising and support organization for the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program. The Foundation's mission is to raise funds to provide toys to supplement the collections of local Toys for Tots coordinators. The Foundation, through cash donations and corporate sponsors like SaveWealth.com, helps defray the costs of annual toy drive campaigns, and performs administration and advisory functions for local coordinators. Local campaigns are conducted in over 300 communities in all 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. The Commander, Marine Forces Reserve has 188 Marine Corps Reserve units under his command. In those areas where no Reserve unit is present, the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation permits local community organizations to conduct Toys for Tots campaigns. Campaigns begin every October, and members of the community drop off new, unwrapped toys in collection bins in nearby businesses. Local coordinators then pick up these toys, sort them by age and gender, and distribute them to the neediest of children on Christmas morning. The Toys for Tots program is now in its sixth decade of service to the community.
