Minor League Baseball Charities is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization dedicated to giving back to and enhancing the communities our teams call home. Through donations and support it receives from fans, teams and partners, MiLB Charities is able to contribute to local organizations in times of need and support causes that are important to our extended baseball family. Minor League Baseball Charities is affiliated with The National Association of Professional Baseball Leagues, Inc.
In partnership with Feeding America, Minor League Baseball came together in May 2020 to raise funds for local food banks while honoring local heroes risking their lives on the front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic. For every $10 donated through campaign, one ticket to a future MiLB game will be donated to a local hero.
