Description
Fields for Kids is a Minnesota Twins Community Fund program supporting improvements to baseball and softball facilities used primarily by youth in the Upper Midwest and Southwest Florida. It provides matching grants for renovation or construction that makes community ballfields safer, more accessible, and better places for youth teams to play.
Support focuses on essential field components such as new sod, infields, fencing, and dugouts rather than routine maintenance or non-essential amenities. Communities that have not previously received a Twins Fields for Kids grant receive higher priority. Community Fund staff administer the program, review requests, and work closely with recipient organizations to ensure projects are completed. Final grant determinations are made by the fund’s Board of Directors.
