The Mandan Baseball Club Inc primarily funds local community recreation and youth activities in Mandan/Bismarck, with a clear emphasis on building and maintaining sports facilities alongside steady operating support for schools, youth organizations, and civic groups. Their giving mixes one very large capital investment in a baseball complex with numerous smaller, often recurring operating grants to local schools, athletic clubs, veterans’ athletics, and community services.
A defining feature of Mandan Baseball Club Inc is its concentration on baseball and sports facilities, led by a $3,821,873 grant to Mandan Park District for Baseball Complex Renovations in 2025. That capital commitment sits alongside a pattern of operating support for local schools, athletics groups, and community organizations in Mandan and Bismarck. The foundation’s recent grants show a mix of one large infrastructure project and many smaller awards, with repeated support for several recipients across consecutive years. Alongside the complex renovation, Mandan Baseball Club Inc gave $100,000 to Saint Joseph Church School in 2025 for its operating fund and $30,000 to MPS Foundation for operating support in the same year. The grant list also includes support for youth sports and school-related extracurriculars such as Mandan Touchdown Club, Mandan Tennis Center, and Lewis and Clark PTO. Beyond education and athletics, the foundation has funded civic and service organizations including Mandan Firefighters Association, ND Safety Council, and Bismarck Mandan Chamber. Its giving is local in scope and heavily centered in North Dakota, with recurring awards that suggest steady support for familiar community partners.
Sports infrastructure is the clearest theme in the grant record. In 2025, Mandan Baseball Club Inc awarded $3,821,873 to Mandan Park District for Baseball Complex Renovations, following a $761,962 grant in 2024 for Complex Renovations. That two-year pattern ties the foundation closely to facility work rather than one-time event support. Education-related operating support appears in several forms. The foundation gave $100,000 to Saint Joseph Church School in 2025 for its operating fund and $30,000 to MPS Foundation for operating support. Youth and school-affiliated extracurriculars also received backing, including $22,180 to Mandan Touchdown Club and $12,500 to Lewis and Clark PTO. The grant list also includes community service and safety groups. Awards went to ND Safety Council, Mandan Firefighters Association, and Brave the Shave, indicating that the foundation’s local support extends beyond athletics into public-facing civic needs.
Mandan Baseball Club Inc gave at a wide range of sizes, from a $5,000 grant to smaller operating-support awards up through a $3,821,873 capital grant. Its typical grant size is $5,400 at the 25th percentile, $12,500 at the median, and $45,000 at the 75th percentile, showing that most awards are much smaller than the major facility projects. The recipient list also shows repeat support across multiple years for some organizations, including Mandan Park District, Saint Joseph Church School, MPS Foundation, Bismarck Mandan Chamber, and Mandan Tennis Center. The foundation is a public charity, does not fund individuals, and makes no program-related investments.
