Grant Application

The Trustees realize that in many cases prospective individuals, team and league officials do not have the resources to develop the typically cumbersome formal grant proposal. For this reason, we ask that your organization send us your collaborative thoughts and request for a grant in an informal written letter and brief project outline. Information to be included:

In the letter:

• The name of the youth baseball team, league or organization.
• Contact individual with email address.
• Please send a confirming email with your grant application.
• Your stated and implemented sportsmanship goals and objectives as an organization must be included.
• Information relating to your organization, its membership, age and overall objectives. A bit of a history would be helpful.
• Any detailed information relating to specific financial hardships, if applicable. Are there individuals who are not able to participate for lack of funding or individual equipment? Priority will be established for underprivileged individuals and organizations.
• Applicant organizations should provide affiliation information relating to their association with accredited baseball organizations.

In the Project Outline:

• Details of specific need and amount of request, and total expense of meeting the organization's objective. This should include what form of partnership funding, or in-kind resources, you will provide to meet your goals. Please be specific.
• Explain if your organization plans to assist other baseball related groups to meet their needs for information, fund raising, and contacts to further their dreams in the future.
• Supplemental grant for parent child team building event(s), please be specific with an outline of events and budget requirements.
• What is the time frame required to meet your objectives?
• A list of references and organizational leadership.
