IronPigs Charities (IPC) Facility Improvement Grant

The IronPigs Charities Facility Improvement Grant supports Lehigh Valley youth organizations by funding the construction, renovation, and enhancement of facilities. Established in 2007, IronPigs Charities has donated over $1.2 million to improve educational and recreational opportunities for children, especially those facing disabilities or economic challenges. This grant emphasizes the importance of maintaining these facilities post-renovation, ensuring they continue to serve the community effectively.

Note: It is important to note that the maintenance of the facility during and after the renovation is the sole responsibility of the organization or municipality that owns, manages, and utilizes the space.
Established in 2007, before the Lehigh Valley IronPigs ever played an International League game, IronPigs Charities (IPC) was created to support educational and recreational opportunities for Lehigh Valley youth. A year round fundraising effort is made through in-game activities and special events. IPC provides support and financial assistance to charitable organizations in the Lehigh Valley area, many serving children with disabilities or economic disadvantages. Throughout the past 16 years, IPC has donated over $1.2 million dollars to Lehigh Valley to youth serving non-profit organizations.
