Barbie will donate one dollar from every doll sold in the United States up to $250,000. The funds will be managed through the Mattel Children’s Foundation. The initiative builds on the Barbie Dream Gap Project, which raises awareness around limiting factors that prevent girls from reaching their full potential.
