Mission
The Giants Community Fund uses baseball and softball to promote health, education, and character development to propel youth in underserved regions to be positive forces in their communities. Its programs, such as Junior Giants and Academy Baseball & Softball, reach more than 38,000 youth annually, providing free equipment, positive role models, scholarship opportunities, and a supportive community.
About
The Junior Giants program was established in 1994 as the fund's flagship program and currently serves over 25,000 boys and girls, ages 5 to 18 in more than 87 communities that span across Northern California, Oregon and Nevada. The program relies on over 5,000 volunteers and staff members to run the non-competitive leagues. The fund provides all of the uniforms, equipment, and training necessary to run a league as well as tickets to select San Francisco Giants games for the youth to experience Major League Baseball. The program focuses on the four bases of character development - confidence, integrity, leadership and teamwork.
