A story that began with a simple invitation

Make room
for more joy.

What started around one dinner table grew into a community tradition.

In 2003, Mark Carroll invited friends to dinner and asked each guest to bring a toy for a local toy drive. The gathering grew, and so did the generosity behind it.

Mark Carroll & Friends Charity was established as a 501(c)(3) in 2012. Today, the organization supports nonprofit partners responding to immediate needs and works to expand opportunities for children and underserved communities.

About the foundation

Meeting needs.
Opening doors.

Mark Carroll & Friends Charity supports nonprofit organizations responding to immediate, tangible needs, with a focus on helping children and underserved communities. Its work aims to expand access to the tools and opportunities that help people build productive, successful futures.

For more than 20 years, the charity has brought people together through community events and giving. The annual Toy Drive Party grew from a dinner gathering in 2003, and the foundation was established as a 501(c)(3) in 2012.
