About the Twins Community Fund: Founded as a nonprofit in 1991 to lead the ballclub’s philanthropic efforts, the Minnesota Twins Community Fund has provided more than $23 million through the years to support and empower youth throughout Twins Territory. We firmly believe that this game is for everyone, and for decades we’ve been providing grants, removing barriers, and expanding opportunities for kids across Twins Territory to get in the game. From free clinics and Twins Nike RBI leagues to adaptive programming and girls baseball opportunities, our programs continue to set the standard for accessibility and quality.
