About Us
The Oswego County Children’s Fund, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to providing Christmas toys and gifts to children throughout Oswego County.
Each year, we host our Toy Giveaway Event at SUNY Oswego, where parents and legal guardians can select Christmas gifts for their children. This year's event will take place on Sunday, December 13, 2026, at Swetman Gym.
Participation is by appointment only, and families must apply in advance. Applications may only be submitted by parents or documented legal guardians of children from newborn through 16 years of age. Each family must provide its own email address and phone number for event-related communications.
Applications will be taken for up to 1,500 children, after which the application page will close. The Toy Giveaway is a one-day event, and approved applicants must attend at their assigned appointment time to receive gifts. Gifts must be picked up in person; delivery is not available.
The Oswego County Children’s Fund accepts monetary, toy, and gift donations year-round. Checks payable to Oswego County Children’s Fund, Inc. may be mailed to PO Box 951, Oswego, NY 13126. Donations can also be made through Venmo using the QR code below.
