The program aims to increase equity, improve participation, and grow competitive play, especially in under-resourced communities.

Mariners Equipment Donation Grant | Seattle Mariners Mariners Care Equipment Donation Grant Since 2017, Mariners Care Equipment Donation Grants have supported student-athletes across the Pacific Northwest in their baseball and softball journeys. We strive to increase equity, improve participation, and grow competitive play regardless of a student’s socioeconomic status.

So far, we’ve provided a total of $450,000 to 80 high school baseball and softball programs to help with baseball and softball equipment needs in under-resourced communities. In addition to the grants, we are also working to better understand the challenges that prevent young people from continuing in these beloved pastimes. We believe all young athletes should have the opportunity to play baseball and softball.

The Mariners Care Equipment Donation Grant is one of many efforts to promote a positive playing experience. Each year, a committee of Seattle Mariners staff selects a total of ten (10) high school baseball and softball teams to receive one five-thousand-dollar ($5,000) grant for the upcoming season. Any high school in the state of Washington or Oregon is eligible to apply for the Mariners Care Equipment Donation Grant.

Priority will be given to schools that demonstrate financial need, including Title 1 school designation, and schools that are making efforts to ensure their baseball or softball programs are inclusive and accessible to the entire school population. Grant funds can be used for items that will be used by the players and team, including player equipment, safety equipment, and updates to the field of play.

Items intended for spectators or beautification of the ball field will not be considered. Programs that have received a previous Mariners Care Equipment Donation grant are not eligible for another grant in consecutive years. Other programs within the same school will be considered.

The application period is now closed. Finalists will be selected and notified in January. If you have any questions on the application process, please reach out here .
