Giants Community Fund Mission Statement
The Giants Community Fund uses baseball as a forum to encourage youngsters and families to live healthy, productive lives. The Fund supports Junior Giants summer leagues throughout Northern California and collaborates with the San Francisco Giants to provide assistance to targeted community efforts.

Since its inception, the Fund has donated more than $9.5 million to community efforts. The Fund, a 501(c)(3) non-profit, is managed by a 30-member Board of Directors and sustained by contributions from individuals, businesses and foundations through a number of special partnerships and fundraising events.

In 1994, the Board of Directors of the Fund decided that in order to make a significant and lasting impact in the lives of our children, the Fund needed to focus the majority of its resources on an effective and wide-reaching youth program. The Fund sought a program that would give at-risk kids a meaningful partnership with community-based organizations and provide an alternative to drugs, gangs and crime. In doing so, the Fund could play a part in helping to end the cycle of violence.

The Junior Giants Program was established as our flagship program and now serves 15,000 boys and girls, ages 5 to 18. The program is in more than 80 communities and reaches 166 cities. Junior Giants is administered through the Police Activities Leagues (PAL), Parks and Recreation Departments, and community members, all of whom serve as the commissioners, coaches, umpires and mentors for the boys and girls who participate.

• Education/Literacy
• Health
• Violence Prevention
