Ideal Applicant
Youth-focused nonprofits or sports-based youth development programs (local Miami-area organizations or national youth-sports/education partners) with programmatic ties to wellness, academic support, or baseball/softball initiatives.
Good Fit
- • Programs serving youth development, wellness, or academic success
- • Sports-based youth programming or partnerships with baseball/softball initiatives
- • Established local presence in South Florida or membership in a national youth-sports network
- • Budget and ask sizes consistent with observed grants (from small gifts up to ~six figures)
- • Existing relationships or introductions to foundation staff or team-side partners
Geography
Observed grants in the latest year went to organizations in four different states, with New York and Florida receiving the largest shares but awards also paid to California and Texas, indicating a multi-state footprint rather than strictly local giving.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 15 distinct grantees across national and local organizations and a high rate of new recipients (12 new grantees), which points to a broad and diverse recipient set despite dollar concentration in a few top grants.
New Applicants
The foundation publicly states it funds only preselected organizations and no open RFP was found, but the website and contact email exist and the latest year included many new grantees, so unfamiliar applicants may gain entry but likely via targeted outreach or invitation rather than an open application process.
