Program Overview

Field Of Dreams made possible by TD is Jays Care's granting program that provides funding to design, refurbish and build local baseball diamonds in communities across the country. Field Of Dreams diamonds are created to be safe and inclusive spaces where communities can connect, and kids can grow. In past 10 years, Jays Care has invested nearly $15 million into 163 Field Of Dreams diamonds across 10 provinces and two territories.

Emergency Relief Funding

Jays Care’s Emergency Relief Fund was created to help Canadian kids get back to the diamond following natural disasters in their community. Funds granted support capital repairs to baseball diamonds and/or the replacement of equipment to help leagues and get kids back to playing the game they love. The Fund also supports investments in equipment or infrastructure intended to protect diamonds from the elements and reduce playing time lost due to inclement weather.

If your local diamond has been affected by a natural disaster, apply now for the Emergency Relief Fund, or email [email protected] to learn more.
