Our philanthropic focus supports JAKKS™’ Strategic Philanthropic Partners, local community initiatives and causes that are important to our employees. The vast majority of our products are distributed through our Strategic Philanthropic Partners. Due to the high volume of requests, we have established donation criteria to allow JAKKS Cares to focus our resources to help the greatest number of children in need. Unfortunately, we are unable to allocate toys and resources to all organizations submitting a request for donations.
To be considered for a JAKKS Cares donation, a non-profit charitable organization must submit a completed on-line product donation request form. All donation requests will be subject to product availability as well as satisfaction of JAKKS Cares donation criteria.
We generally focus on the following charitable priorities:
Partnerships with non-profit organizations whose primary focus is helping needy children.
Non-profit organizations that aid families following natural disasters.
Holiday and back-to-school giving programs for needy children.
Animal Humane Societies and other animal-related charitable organizations.
Programs linked to our Strategic Philanthropic Partners.
In-kind donations where our products and expertise can be best utilized.
Donation requests are subject to the following restrictions:
Organizations receiving JAKKS Pacific® product donations from our Strategic Philanthropic Partners are ineligible for donations directly from JAKKS Pacific.
Lobbying, political organizations, and commercial businesses, as well as individual requests that directly benefit only one person, are ineligible.
The content of the JAKKS donation is dependent on JAKKS’ current product inventory available for donation.
Recipient may be responsible for product shipping costs or arranging for pick-up from our warehouse in Walnut, CA.

FREE MEDICAL, DENTAL & VISION TO THOUSANDS IN LA AREA...8/11-8/18TH @ THE FORUM
On August 11th through August 18th, Remote Area Medical will provide free medical, dental, and vision care to thousands of needy individuals in the Los Angeles area.
The event is being planned and will be operated by Remote Area Medical, an all volunteer 501(c)(3) charity providing free care to uninsured, underinsured and indigent individuals throughout the United States.
Free care will be provided to anyone who needs it, without cost of any kind to the patient, the taxpayer or the government. There is no income test, no insurance requirement, no restriction of any kind. Medical and non-medical personnel will all be volunteers; supplies and equipment will be donated or provided by RAM.
The free clinic will be held at the Forum in Inglewood, and will treat an estimated 1,200 people a day, possibly more. The Forum is being made available through the generosity of the Faithful Central Bible Church, owners of the facility.
We expect there to be 100 dental stations, 45 medical exam rooms, 25 eye exam stations:
Dentistry will include cleanings, extractions, fillings, restorative procedures and root canals.
Prescription eye glasses will be ground and fitted on-site.
Minor dermatological and other medical procedures will be performed.
Pediatricians and pediatric dentists will be present.
Follow-up care will be arranged for those who need it, with most referrals to private sector practices and facilities. There will be a strong emphasis on education, prevention and self-care.
Mammography, pap smears, chest x-rays, diabetes screening, blood pressure screening, and other services will be provided.
Healthcare foundations and agencies will be invited to distribute patient education materials.
The RAM Los Angeles event will be the first in a major population center and possibly the largest healthcare event of its kind ever.
