Annual Report 2007Mattel Philanthropy Programs

Making a meaningful difference, one child at a time. Mattel Philanthropic Vision

Mattel Philanthropic Values:We intend to make a meaningful difference in the lives of children in need around the world through our interactions – how we “play” – with our communities, our partners and our volunteers.

Play with Passion: By making a meaningful and lasting impact on children globally.

Play Together:By forming deep partnerships to enrich the communities in which we work and play, and engaging Mattel employees in our efforts.

Play Fair:By acting with unwavering integrity in all aspects of our work.

Play to Grow: By striving to make long term differences in the lives of children in need and seeking continuous improvement.

Vision and Values

Mattel donates 2% of its pre-tax profit to philanthropic activities annually.

Dear Partners and Friends,

What happens when a child, who hasn’t experienced happiness in weeks, smiles? The room lights up, the smile is contagious and new found hope and confidence can be shared.

Around the world, every day, too many children are unfortunately faced with tremendous challenges that affect their health, their happiness, and their survival. At Mattel, we believe that we can make a meaningful difference in the lives of children in need, one child at a time as we Play Together with our communities as stated in Mattel’s corporate values.

Through our Philanthropy Programs in 2007, fifty employees from around the world became the first global volunteer team of Mattel employees helping athletes at the Special Olympics World Games in Shanghai. Mattel toys brought smiles to the faces of thousands of children in hospitals in partnership with the National Association of Children’s Hospitals. We helped bring literacy to children in the Philippines, many who have become the first readers in their families, thanks to Save the Children’s Raising a Reader program. And, Mattel supported the health of thousands of children in partnership with the Mattel Children’s Hospital UCLA.

In 2007, the Mattel Philanthropy Programs positively impacted the lives of more than 3 million children in 75 countries. Our philanthropic commitment of donating 2% pre-tax profit continued when our philanthropic programs totaled approximately $16 million last year.

This year marks the 30th anniversary of the Mattel Children’s Foundation, an outstanding achievement that is evidence of Mattel’s ongoing commitment to making a meaningful difference with children. Since 1978, the Mattel Children’s Foundation has played together with thousands of charitable organizations and positively impacted millions of children. Over the years, the Foundation has funded new technologies, after-school activities, literacy projects, and programs to promote the health of children around the world. We continue that commitment today with programs that include our Signature Partners and international grantmaking activities.

We hope you will take a moment to learn more about the incredible impact of the Mattel Philanthropy Programs in 2007. We are proud of our results and the partners we have engaged with to make a positive impact on children around the world. Join us to learn more about how we Play Together and make a meaningful difference, one child at a time.

Sincerely,

Kevin Farr Deidre LindChairman Executive Director Mattel Children’s Foundation and Mattel Children’s Foundation andMattel Philanthropy Programs Mattel Philanthropy ProgramsChief Financial Officer, Mattel, Inc.

Mattel’s commitment to giving back to its communities and supporting children in need is evident in its global philanthropic programs which include the Mattel Children’s Foundation and its international grantmaking efforts, product donations, corporate contributions and employee volunteerism. As the largest toy manufacturer in the world, Mattel brings smiles to children’s faces through the design and manufacture of safe and fun toys for children as well as its philanthropic activities. In 2007, Mattel donated approximately $16 million in cash and product to support children in need, which continues our philanthropic commitment of donating more than 2% of our pre-tax profits to charitable activities that support children.

foundation

Thirty years ago, the Mattel Children’s Foundation was created with a vision of making a meaningful difference in the lives of children in need around the world. The Foundation has funded thousands of organizations during its history and supported millions of children through grants to charitable organizations serving youth. Over the years, the Foundation has funded technology, health care, literacy, girls empowerment, and international programs.

The Foundation has supported a number of programs over the years, including: • Mattel Family Learning Programs: Computer learning labs for underserved children in the U.S., Hong Kong, Mexico and Canada. • Helping Kids Grow: Supporting mobile clinics to provide preventive healthcare to low-income children.• Hand in Hand: Supporting partnerships of parents, schools and communities. In 2007, the Mattel Children’s Foundation donated approximately $5 million to more than 1,500 organizations serving children. The Foundation granted funds in nearly 40 countries and impacted the lives of millions of children this year.

The Foundation’s current grantmaking programs include:• Domestic Grantmaking supporting healthy lives and active play, literacy, girls empowerment and joy for children in need.• International Grantmaking in 36 countries.• Matching Gifts for Mattel employees in support of youth-focused charities and disaster relief.• Global Scholarships to children of Mattel employees in 13 countries.

For ten years, Mattel and the Mattel Children’s Hospital UCLA have partnered together to address the health and well being of more than 100,000 children annually. The hospital’s new facility, scheduled to open this year, is the most technologically-advanced of its kind. With Mattel toys, funding, volunteers, sponsorships and in-kind services, the hospital supports the social, emotional and developmental needs of the child as well as their medical requirements. The Mattel Children’s Hospital UCLA, a vital part of the UCLA Medical Center, has consistently been ranked “Best in the West” in the U.S. News & World Report’s annual ranking ofchildren’s hospitals.

Mattel’s global partnership with Special Olympics (SO) impacted the lives of thousands of children with intellectual disabilities in 45 countries in 2007. More than 7,500 athletes received a one-of-a-kind World Games Hot Wheels® at the 2007 SO World Games in Shanghai. In addition, Mattel continued support of the SO Get Into It® curriculum in 6,000 schools and the global expansion of the Young Athletes Program™ engaging 15,000 children ages two through eight in 17 different countries. Mattel employees stay involved through Team Mattel, active in 40 different global locations last year.

In this third year of partnership, Mattel and Save the Children continued their efforts to help bring school success to nearly 10,000 at-risk children from birth to age five in El Salvador, the Philippines and rural U.S. locations. Through Save the Children’s Early Steps to School Success program, Mattel supported literacy development and social skills through home visits, parent meetings, risk assessments, and center-based programming in 60 schools and parent-child centers. Mattel also provided emergency relief funds to Save the Children’s Safe Spaces shelter program providing youth activities in shelters following the Southern California wildfires in the Fall of 2007.

Mattel has donated more than 150,000 toys to 200 children’s hospitals across the U.S. over the past three years in partnership with the National Association of Children’s Hospitals and Related Institutions (NACHRI). Fisher-Price® mobiles, Barbie® dolls, Tyco® R/C cars and other toys provide a moment of respite and a smile to children battling serious health conditions in the hospital setting. Funding was also provided to survey children’s hospital programs that prevent, manage and treat childhood obesity in their communities. The results of the survey will be used to identify best practice standards to be shared in year two of this effort.

Mattel continued its unprecedented support of the Children Affected by AIDS Foundation (CAAF), which was founded by a Mattel executive, and its annual fundraiser, Dream Halloween®. Funds raised by CAAF support children like David, an HIV-positive child in Brazil whose family is unable to access necessary medical supplies and services. Mattel’s support of CAAF’s efforts in 14 countries across Latin America and the Caribbean has positively affected the lives of almost 20,000 children impacted or orphaned by HIV/AIDS in 2007.

In 2007, Mattel added the Make-A-Wish® Foundation as its sixth Signature Partner, building on a 10-year relationship of granting wishes for children facing life-threatening medical conditions. Mattel continues to grant American Girl®, Barbie® and Hot Wheels® wishes and even created a unique cancer- fighting board game as part of 8-year-old Carsten’s wish last year. For the first time, Mattel created one-of-a-kind Make-A-Wish® Barbie® and Hot Wheels® to be given to newly identified Wish children across the country. These unique toys, not available for sale, allow staff to immediately connect with a child and best ascertain their true wish.

international PHilantHroPy

Mattel’s philanthropy spreads around the world through its grantmaking, volunteerism, and toy donations. Through the Mattel Children’s Foundation, international grants were made in almost 40 different countries in 2007. The invitation-only application process enabled the Foundation to provide grants to orphanages, playgrounds, youth centers and other qualifying organizations. In addition, Mattel volunteers around the world supported Special Olympics and other charitable activities in their communities. Mattel toys are also donated locally to children in need in every country where Mattel manufactures and sells product.

Some examples of Mattel’s global philanthropy:

Luwan School for Special Needs Children, ChinaIn the midst of the bustling streets of Shanghai is a school aimed to meet the needs of students with special needs. Most of these students have learning disabilities and physical limitations and have no other resources to support their unique challenges. With Mattel’s support, the Luwan School for Special Needs provides a learning environment for children who have no other place to turn as well as opportunities to learn basic life skills.

Children’s HospitalsMattel supported children’s hospitals in Austria, Denmark, Hungary, France, Mexico, Hong Kong, and the U.S. Funding supported the research and related treatment for children suffering from severe and debilitating epilepsy at the pediatrics ward of the Medical University of Vienna. In Belgium and France, Mattel supported programs that provide smiles to children in hospitals through the use of specially trained clowns. In Tijuana, Mattel continued its ongoing commitment to the Children’s Hospital of the Californias through its sponsorship of their annual golf tournament as well as annual toy donations.

IFB: Käenguru, GermanyMore than 1,000 children in Germany play in outdoor park space designed for children with physical and intellectual disabilities with support from Mattel in partnership with IFB: Käenguru. The park includes a healing garden and animal therapy area with llamas to interact with the many children who visit the park annually. Mattel employees became involved when they volunteered their time to help build the park.

Our grants help fund programs like NOAH, serving children orphaned by HIV/AIDS in South Africa.

Make-A-Wish® Foundation InternationalBuilding on its domestic support of the Make-A-Wish® Foundation of America, Mattel provided funding to Make-A-Wish® programs in France, Switzerland, Greece, Netherlands and Australia. These grants enabled these international affliates to grant wishes to children like 10-year-old Fien from Belgium whose wish of riding horses in the wild was granted when she traveled to southern France with her family to visit and ride the ancient Camargue breed of horses. Five-year-old Manuel from Switzerland has battled leukemia, yet had his wish granted when he rode a helicopter around the Matterhorn. Yayasan Sarana Pengembangan Kota – Cikarang, Indonesia With Mattel funding, volunteers, and donations, the Foundation for Cikaring Infrastructure continued its mission of building and refurbishing rural schools for children in Indonesia. In 2007, Mattel helped to build three additional buildings in a school located in a mountainous, rural region outside of Jakarta which allowed for running water at the school, a teacher resource room, and the community’s first library.

Asociacion Civil Hogar Bambi, VenezuelaServing more than 100 foster children, Hogar Bambi provides consistent support to young foster children through their adolescence. Mattel’s support in 2007 in part allowed Hogar to open a third facility to provide food, education, medical care and social services to children without stable home environments.

Mattel and the Mattelchildren’s foundationprovided funds to schools, hospitals and youth organizations in nearly 40 countries in 2007.

Mattel provides funding, in-kind donations, and volunteer support to community organizations and children’s hospitals across the United States. This includes the 38 grants in 21 states awarded earlier in the year by the Mattel Children’s Foundation focusing on children’s literacy, health and girl’s self-esteem. Funding supported program and operating costs.

Examples include:

Art of Elysium: Supports the self-esteem of girls in the hospital setting through arts-based curriculum, including dramatic play and creative arts.

Pajama Program: Provides books, along with a new set of pajamas, to homeless, abandoned and abused children in shelters, group homes, and foster care facilities in New York.

Girls in the Game: Promotes sports and fitness opportunities, health education and leadership development for girls in inner-city Chicago. Florida Introduces Physical Activity & Nutrition to Youth (FLIPANY): The Eat Right, Get Moving program

engages low-income children in a school-based nutrition and physical activity program to promote health and well-being. Hip Hop Haven: Mentors, particularly African-American men, read to children in group settings in North Carolina to promote literacy through the My Bookie – Changing the Odds program.

LA SCORES: After-school program focused on building self-esteem and life skills for inner-city youth through facilitated soccer, creative writing, and community service activities in Los Angeles.

At Mattel, we incorporate volunteerism into our corporate culture and engage our most valuable asset, our employees, in our philanthropic activities. In just our second year, over 2,000 employees participated in Mattel PLAYers programs around the world to make a meaningful difference in their local communities. Through Mattel PLAYers volunteer activities, employees play with kids during recess at inner-city schools or play with disadvantaged kids for a Day of Play at the beach, Disneyland or at the Mattel Park at the Junior Blind of America. Backpacks are assembled with school supplies and food kits are assembled at the local food bank. Trees are planted, beaches are cleaned and schools and houses are built with the help of Mattel PLAYers. Mattel’s Indonesian manufacturing facility hosted a Special Olympics event for more than 200 athletes and had more than 300 volunteers playing together.

The Mattel team of 55 employees supported the Special Olympics Youth Forum, the Global Youth Summit and the Global Family Forum while cheering and supporting athletes. This international volunteer team became the first team of its kind in Mattel history and the largest global corporate team of volunteers for Special Olympics.

Three years ago, Mattel began its partnership playing together with Special Olympics. Central to that unique relationship was the opportunity to engage Mattel employees around the world in the same volunteer experience to help children, and adults, with intellectual disabilities through Special Olympics.

Last year, over 2,000 Mattel employees in 15 countries joined Team Mattel, making Mattel the largest corporate volunteer team in Special Olympics history. Employees from every unit of Mattel participated, including manufacturing, finance, legal, marketing, and retail services to name just a few. Mattel employees cheered athletes to victory, distributed water, timed skating races, escorted athletes to venues, and even kept score at basketball games.

There is little more important than providing a smile to a child who may have little else to smile about. Mattel donates toys to children in need around the world, including children in hospitals, youth homes, shelters, military bases, and orphanages. Almost one million Barbie® dolls, Hot Wheels® vehicles, Radica® electronic toys, American Girl® dolls and accessories, and Fisher-Price® products were donated directly to children in 2007.

Domestically, Mattel partners with Gifts in Kind International™, to administer a portion of its toy donation program and together donated toys to hundreds of charitable organizations last year.

Mattel Children’s Hospitals Toy Donation Program Four years ago, Mattel began its Mattel Children’s Hospitals Toy Donation Program in partnership with the National Association of Children’s Hospitals (NACHRI). An assortment of toys appropriate for use in the hospital setting are made available to more than 220 NACHRI-member children’s hospitals in the U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico. Hospitals use the toys in play rooms, to connect patients with doctors and other care-givers, and to inspire children who are fighting severe health challenges in the hospital setting. Some of these toys are also provided over the holiday season, ensuring thousands of children staying in the hospital over the holidays know that Santa can find them anywhere. To date, Mattel has donated more than 150,000 toys to children’s hospitals through this program and it is one of the most widely used benefits by NAHCRI members.
