Specialty Grants - Cardinals Fly Together Fund - School Matching Grants

_NOTE: Applications for the 2025 season of educational day field trips will be reviewed and those chosen will be notified on a rolling basis as funds remain available._

Cardinals Fly Together Fund - School Matching Grants

The Springfield Cardinals Fly Together Fund has been created to provide grants to area schools to give students the opportunity to attend a Springfield Cardinals (AA Affiliate of the St. Louis Cardinals) home baseball game. Educational Day Field Trips are an excellent opportunity to incorporate learning through various pre-game educational topics, along with the experience of attending a live sporting event.

Funding

Matching grants may be awarded as full or partial requests to provide an amount equal to the amount contributed by the school for a Springfield Cardinals educational day field trip. For example, a full grant will cover 50% of the ticket cost for tickets requested through the grant. A partial grant will cover 25% of the ticket cost for tickets requested through the grant.
