The Toy Industry Foundation has extended the deadline for 2012 Play Connects grant applications. Open to all Toy Industry Association member companies in good standing, the grant program is now accepting applications until September 4. The deadline has been extended to ensure that both TIA members and their chosen children’s charities have enough time to fill out each part of the grant application before submitting the form to TIF. Up to three Play Connects grants, worth up to $10,000 each, will be awarded before the end of the year.
Qualified applications received on or before September 4 will be reviewed by a committee comprised of members from the TIF Board of Trustees. Both full and associate TIA members may nominate a deserving charity of their choosing. More information can be found on the Play Connects website or by contacting Foundation Manager Marisa Medina.
