Cardinals Care spring grant cycle to aid 90 nonprofits
ST. LOUIS, Mo., May 3, 2024 –The St. Louis Cardinals announced today that Cardinals Care, the team’s community foundation, has distributed over $188,000 in grant money to 80 nonprofit groups that support local kids as part of the organization’s spring grant cycle.
The grants will be used to fund tangible items, one-time capital expenses and special supplies or purchases that directly benefit children. Most of the nonprofits are located in the St. Louis area.
“Thanks to the ongoing support of our generous fans and players who participate regularly in our fundraising efforts including the Winter Warm-Up, 50/50 Raffles, and Silent Auctions, Cardinals Care was able to fund grants to support area charities that join us in our mission of caring for kids,” said Michael Hall, Vice President, Community Relations & Executive Director of Cardinals Care.
Cardinals Care was established to give fans a way of teaming up with Cardinals players and the organization to help children in our community—both on and off the baseball field. Cardinals Care has provided over $12 million in grants to non-profits since 1997.
There are two grant cycles each year, one in spring and one in summer. Organizations that have been a 501c3 for at least a year and are interested in applying for a Cardinals Care grant can find more information at cardinals.com/grants.
