The St. Louis Cardinals announced today that Cardinals Care, the team’s community foundation, has distributed over $233,000 in grant money to 72 area nonprofit groups that support local kids as part of the organization’s summer grant cycle. The grants will be used to fund tangible items, one-time capital expenses and special supplies or purchases that directly benefit children.
“We are proud to support these deserving organizations through the generosity of our fans, players and staff,” said Michael Hall, Vice President of Community Relations & Executive Director of Cardinals Care. “We are grateful to all of these organizations for joining us in our mission to care for kids in our community.”
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.
