We are here to develop the next generation, honor those who serve, and serve those in need.
The Texas Rangers Baseball Foundation combines sports-centered giving with support for military and veteran communities, disaster relief, youth education, and basic community needs. Recent grants show a pattern of general operating support alongside named program support, with several large awards going to Texas nonprofits in the Dallas–Fort Worth area and beyond. In 2023, the foundation gave $100,000 each to Artes De La Rosa in Fort Worth, Arlington ISD Ed Foundation in Arlington, Adaptive Training Foundation in Carrollton, Traffick911 in Addison, and C5 Youth Found of Texas in Dallas, reflecting a broad local reach across arts, education, disability support, anti-trafficking work, and youth development. Other significant grants supported Mission Metroplex in Arlington and Make A Wish Foundation in Addison and Irving. The foundation also appears in grant records with food-related support through Food for the Soul and other community-serving recipients. Its giving reflects a mix of baseball-adjacent community engagement and targeted support for nonprofits working with youth, service members, and families facing urgent needs.
Youth sports is a clear part of the foundation’s grantmaking. It gave $17,500 in 2025 to Valley Mills Youth Baseball for general support, and it lists baseball and softball grants as a formal program for schools, youth leagues, and community organizations. Youth education also appears in its grant history: Arlington ISD Ed Foundation received $100,000 in 2023 for general support. Community services and urgent-needs funding show up in awards such as $45,700 in 2024 to Gods Company Dba Food for So for Food for the Soul and $37,050 in 2025 to Food for the Soul. Military and veterans support is another recurring area, including $25,000 in 2024 to Folds of Honor Foundation for general support.
Typical grants cluster tightly around a $10,000 median, with the 25th percentile also at $10,000 and the 75th percentile at $18,500. That points to a foundation that often gives modest, repeatable awards, while still making larger six-figure commitments in selected cases. The recent list includes multiple grants to the same recipient across different years, including Mission Metroplex and Make A Wish Foundation, which suggests recurring relationships rather than one-time support only. The foundation is not a private family fund; it operates as a sports foundation and also provides in-kind donations and named grant programs. An application form is available for in-kind donation and donation requests.
