Mariners Care

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.

Mariners Care gave $37,000 to Seattle Parks Foundation for general support and $15,000 to Sustainable Seattle for general support.

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.
