Based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Tickets for Kids Charities (TFK) is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing arts, educational, sports, and other tickets to low-income children and families. TFK was founded in 1994 after noticing the excessive number of empty seats at many of the city's shows and events. Since then, the organization has helped 1.4 million individuals gain free admission to arts, cultural, educational, sports, and family entertainment events. TFK obtains tickets through a network of partners that comprises individuals, theaters, museums, amusement parks, sports teams, zoos, aquariums, educational institutions, producing agencies, and more. TFK then distributes those tickets to children and their families via social service agency partners.
In 2012, Tickets for Kids partnered with over 2,600 social service agencies across the US. TFK distributed nearly 115,000 tickets valued at more than $3.6 million and facilitated access to over 5,000 events at no cost to the agencies or their clients.
