Thanks to you, the LEGO Foundation gives millions of children the chance to play and learn. Find out more about what we do – and why we do it.
The LEGO Foundation was set up by the founders of the LEGO Group, the Kirk Kristiansen family, over 30 years ago to ensure that as many kids as possible have access to play and learning.
That means that a portion of our company’s overall profits goes directly into the funding of the LEGO Foundation’s research, projects, activities and partnerships.
For example, in 2021, the LEGO Foundation provided our initiatives with grants of US$443.9 million to help children reach their full potential through play.
So the next time your family builds with LEGO® bricks, you’ll not only help your children learn through play, you’ll help millions of other children around the world do the same.
When children play, they learn. Simple.
Play has the power to change lives. We believe it’s the best way to help children reach their full potential and learn life-long skills. That’s why our mission is to inspire and develop the builders of tomorrow through play.
Because play teaches kids about skills that will help them thrive in the rapidly-changing world that is the 21st century. Let’s have a look at some of them now…
The LEGO Foundation’s initiatives drive long-term lasting change, while addressing the immediate critical needs of the most vulnerable children and ensure they can access learning and play. We join forces with partners in over 32 countries to extend our reach and expertise so we can make the biggest impact.
