    Additional Information

    Grant funds are not awarded for past orders, work or expenditures. Please review the following examples:
    • Example 1: Your organization submits a request for the January-March review cycle. The request to BTF is for funding to purchase uniforms and equipment. You plan to place an order for uniforms and equipment in February. Your request will not be considered by BTF.
    • Example 2: Your organization plans to begin a field renovation project in September. Your organization submits a request for the July-September review cycle. Your request to BTF includes funding for site work scheduled from September-October as well as other work that follows. Your request to fund the site work will not be considered by BTF.

    While they appreciate the thoughtful gesture and support, the Baseball Tomorrow Fund is not a public charity and cannot accept donations.

    If you would like to make a donation to specifically support youth baseball and softball, they suggest that you donate directly to your local youth baseball and softball league or school teams. Please contact the organization to confirm its tax-exempt or 501(c)(3) non-profit status before donating.
