Baseball Tomorrow Fund Invites Applications From Youth Baseball and Softball Programs

The Baseball Tomorrow Fund is a joint initiative of Major League Baseball and the Major League Baseball Players Association.

BTF awards grants to nonprofit organizations involved in the operation of youth baseball and softball programs and facilities. The funds may be used to finance a new program, expand or improve an existing program, undertake a new collaborative effort, or secure facilities or equipment needed for youth baseball or softball programs. Grants are intended to provide funding for incremental programming and facilities for youth baseball and softball programs, not for normal operating expenses or as a substitute for existing funding or fundraising activities.

BTF does not specify a maximum grant award; however, the average grant amount is approximately $40,000.

To be eligible, applicants must be a U.S.-based or international nonprofit, tax-exempt organization involved in the operation of youth baseball and/or softball programs and facilities.

See the BTF website for complete program guidelines, an FAQ, information about past recipients, and application instructions.

DEADLINE: JANUARY 1, 2017
