In addition to Mattel’s donations to the Mattel Children’s
Foundation, Mattel engages in other charitable giving. For example,
in 2003, in addition to its cash contribution of approximately
$5.9 million to the Mattel Children’s Foundation, Mattel
donated approximately $800,000 in cash to other charitable organizations.
Furthermore, Mattel donates millions of dollars in retail value
of product annually to help children in need and the organizations
that serve them. For example, during 2003, Mattel donated approximately
1 million units of product to approximately 3,000 non-profit organizations
that directly benefit children in need; the retail value of the
donated product was approximately $8 million.
Mattel’s philanthropic brand initiatives are discussed separately
under the heading “Mattel’s Philanthropic Brand Initiatives” and
are not included in the numbers stated above.
