Detroit Tigers Foundation Grant

The Detroit Tigers Foundation Grant is dedicated to enhancing lives through baseball, focusing on youth, education, and recreation. Currently, the foundation is not accepting new grant applications but encourages community programs to share their projects. With a rich history of funding initiatives across Michigan, the foundation invests strategically in youth baseball programs, including the cornerstone Play Baseball Detroit. This commitment reflects their mission to promote good citizenship and support innovative community efforts.

NOTE: In a commitment to sustain and strengthen our ongoing programs, at this time the Detroit Tigers Foundation is not accepting new grant applications. However, we remain very interested in new programs and projects that are happening in the community, and encourage you to let us know about yours. In lieu of detailed grant applications, we welcome submissions of no longer than three (3) pages, including budget, additional partners and timeline, outlining your effort to enhance lives through the game of baseball.
The Detroit Tigers Foundation is the official charity of the Detroit Tigers baseball club and is an affiliate of Ilitch Charities, a 501(c)(3) public charity. From ticket donations and field renovation projects, to youth baseball programs and college scholarships, the goal of the Foundation is to aid in the development and funding of innovative programs that reach Tigers fans with positive messages and promote the good citizenship embodied in the storied history of the Detroit Tigers.
Awarded funding has been widespread throughout Michigan, covering our community from Saginaw to Taylor, from Clinton Township to Chelsea. Moreover, funding has been invested strategically, strengthening youth baseball programs throughout the region through the Foundation's cornerstone program, Play Baseball Detroit.
