Arizona Diamondbacks Foundation

Grant Programs

The Arizona Diamondbacks Foundation was established in 1997 before the D-backs ever played a Major League game. The mission of the Arizona Diamondbacks Foundation is to support three main areas of need: homelessness, indigent healthcare and children's programs of all types, including education and youth baseball field development. In addition, the Foundation has created strategic programs that address the needs of our community including veterans, police, teachers, and firefighters - just to name a few. To date, the Arizona Diamondbacks and the Arizona Diamondbacks Foundation have made charitable contributions totaling more than $45 million to non-profit organizations form across Arizona. Of the $45 million total, $35 million has been distributed through the Arizona Diamondbacks Foundation.

The Majority of funds are raised through events and programs such as the annual Evening on the Diamond gala, 50/50 Raffle, D-backs Celebrity Golf Classic, D-backs Race Against Cancer, the D-backs License Plate program, Chase Field tours, Mystery Ball, D-backs Authentics, Online Auctions and major gifts from our players and partners in our community.

Program Grants

Program Grants are given statewide to non-profit organizations in the amounts of $1,000 to $5,000. Program Grants are distributed for programmatic expenses that directly impact the clients served by the organization. Our focus areas for Program Grants are homelessness, indigent healthcare and youth programs of all types. Other requests may be considered but should fall within the human services category. All 501(c)3 non-profit organizations in Arizona are welcome to apply for funding, however funding must be for serving the people of Arizona.

The Arizona Diamondbacks Foundation has awarded 1,170 program grants totaling more than $5.1 million since 1998.
