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.
