Gifts of Hope are monetary grants from the Hasbro Children’s Fund.

The Hasbro Children's Fund assists children in triumphing over critical life obstacles as well as bringing the joy of play into their lives. We  provide support for programs which provide terminally and seriously ill children respite and access to play, educational programs for children at risk, and basics for children in need.

We support US based 501(c)(3) organizations who deliver programs around the world.
