Organizations give grants to build fields across America.
Playing on regulation and well-kept fields adds to the sports experience. Unfortunately, many areas have run-down fields--or are without any at all. Many programs, however, provide grants to build and spruce up existing facilities.
Baseball Tomorrow Fund
The joint initiative between Major League Baseball and the Major League Baseball Players Association annually gives grants to promote youth baseball and softball programs worldwide. The grants are flexible to meet the needs of the community, including buying or upgrading fields.
Diamondbacks Foundation
The Arizona Diamondbacks major-league baseball team sponsor a "Diamonds Back" Youth Field Building Program, in which grants are given to build or refurbish youth baseball fields across the state.
NFL Grassroots Program
Through its Youth Football Fund Grassroots Program, the National Football League provides grants to nonprofit, local organizations such as Pop Warner youth football to improve the accessibility, quality and safety of neighborhood football fields.
Tony Hawk Foundation
Skateboarder Tony Hawk's foundation gives grants to help build top-shelf, public skate parks in low-income areas across the country.
U.S. Soccer Foundation
