Our Mission

The Santa Foundation was established 37 years ago to fulfill one goal. That goal was to provide gifts for families in need at Christmas time. We have always felt that at least on Christmas Day these families should be like every other family. They will receive presents (from the Santa Foundation) and maybe a little hope that things will be better in the upcoming year.

As a direct result of the increased need the Santa Foundation has been operating on a year round basis since 2004. In the past we have paid for rent or mortgages to help families get through a difficult period. Requests for oil deliveries or packed school backpacks have been fulfilled for needy families as the situations arise. In 2006, the need for these services increased so much that we decided we must begin to do fundraising year round. To accomplish this goal we needed to be a recognized Federal charity (501c-3). The law firm of Doherty, Ciechanowski, Dugan & Cannon P.C. were kind enough to donate their services and The Santa Foundation Inc. is now a federally approved charitable corporation.

Thankfully we have had excellent sponsors and volunteers that make it possible for the Santa Foundation to help so many people. Sullivan Associates closed as of May 31, 2023. They will no longer be the main support of the Santa Foundation.

Corporate Sponsors listed on our site have stepped up to cover all operational costs going forward. This allows 100% of all contributions and net fundraising money to help recipients.
