    About Mariners Care

    Mariners Care’s largest recent grant, $382,354 to Ohno-touchdown Jv in Seattle for general support, points to a funder that makes substantial unrestricted awards alongside smaller community grants. The Seattle Mariners’ community giving arm supports local organizations through cash grants, equipment donations, ticket donations, and special community programs. Recent awards also include $100,000 to Downtown Emergency Service Center and $50,000 to United Way of King County, showing that the foundation backs a mix of direct service groups and broad community intermediaries. The giving profile combines youth-centered sports support with community development, inclusion, and health-related work. Baseball and softball organizations appear regularly, but the foundation also funds nonprofits working on parks, education, family services, homelessness, and public health. Several grants are labeled general support, which suggests flexible funding is part of the pattern. Mariners Care’s grantmaking is closely tied to the Mariners’ region and community priorities, with most recent awards going to organizations in Washington state and a smaller number elsewhere in the Northwest and beyond. The foundation’s portfolio also includes named community initiatives such as impact grants, equipment donations, ticket donations, and recognition programs.

    What Mariners Care Funds

    Youth sports is a visible theme in Mariners Care’s recent grants. They gave $26,500 to Baseball Beyond Borders in Kent for general support, $23,800 to Bandits Breer Fastpitch in Kirkland, and $20,101 to Little League Baseball Inc in Kent. Another youth-sports award went to Pro Baseball Club in Puyallup for $16,825. Community development and public space also show up in the portfolio. Mariners Care gave $37,000 to Seattle Parks Foundation for general support and $15,000 to Sustainable Seattle for general support. In the same broad neighborhood-focused lane, Seattle-based Community Leaders Roundtable received $25,000. Health and human services appear through grants such as $100,000 to Downtown Emergency Service Center and $15,000 to Southeast Youth & Family Services. The foundation also backed prevention and wellness work through its Positive Health Outcomes Grant program, which is focused on access to care, prevention, and wellness initiatives.

    How Mariners Care Gives

    Typical grant size sits at $9,303 at the 25th percentile, $11,372 at the median, and $24,100 at the 75th percentile, which means many awards are relatively modest even though a few larger grants stand out. The recent record shows repeated support to some recipients across multiple years, including Seattle Foundation, Playworks Education Energized, Baseball Beyond Borders, Friends of Baseball, Elysian One Inc, and Southeast Youth & Family Services. That repetition points to ongoing relationships rather than one-off gifts. The common grant language is general support, and the foundation also uses direct-resource programs such as equipment and ticket donations. Mariners Care accepts unsolicited applications for some active programs.
