The Tiny Tim Fund is a registered NJ non-profit Corporation 501(c)(3) that raises funds to provide financial assistance to help families pay for the medical needs of children in Fanwood and Scotch Plains, including doctors, dentists and psychological testing. The organization has been assisting local families since 1983.

The Tiny Tim Fund is administered by a volunteer Board of Trustees which consists of Fanwood and Scotch Plains citizens from varied sections of the community. There are no administrative fees. All collected donations are dispersed for children's needs.

The organization actively seeks donations for its mission annually during the Crol Night which will take place on December 5th followed by the distribution of solicitation letters that will be distributed to homes in Scotch Plains and Fanwood during the month of December as well as donations made in response to publicity about the Tiny Tim Fund.
