Make a Difference this Holiday Season - Donate to Friends of Santa Claus, Inc.

At Friends of Santa Claus, Inc., we're dedicated to keeping the magic of Christmas alive while spreading joy and support to underprivileged children and families in the Inland Empire communities of San Bernardino, Colton, Rialto, Highland, and Redlands. As a proud fundraising partner of Santa Claus, Inc., a 70+ year-old nonprofit, we raise essential funds through events like our annual Christmas Tree Lane gala to provide toys, clothing, school supplies, hygiene items, and year-round essentials. Over 560,000 children have experienced a brighter holiday because of community generosity like yours – and in San Bernardino, rated as one of the nation's poorest cities, your support means everything to families facing tough times.

Why Your Donation Matters

Direct Impact on Kids: Every dollar raised helps Santa Claus, Inc. deliver high-quality, brand-new items. Thanks to efficient partnerships with donors like the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians, Mattel, Kohl's, and FedEx, over 90% of funds go straight to children – turning $1 into $15 worth of toys, books, and clothing for those in need.
Year-Round Joy: Beyond the holidays, our efforts support programs like "Operation Elf," providing essentials to tens of thousands of kids through schools, partner agencies, and community outreach. In 2023 alone, we helped over 100,000 kids.
Your Gift, Amplified: As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, every contribution is tax-deductible, and volunteers – not overhead – drive our mission. Join the thousands who've volunteered, donated, or attended our events to create lasting smiles.
