Helping kids play ball since 2005!
Pitch In For Baseball & Softball was established as a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization on September 19, 2005. Our mission is to reduce barriers to play and promote positive youth development by providing equipment directly to leagues, schools, and organizations to start, continue, or expand their baseball and softball programs.
School-Based Programs
Since 2008, our School-Based Program has helped schools continue or expand their baseball and softball programs and stretch their limited budgets. Kids who participate in these programs have been shown to increase their attendance and GPA as a result of playing ball.
PIFBS currently offers School-Based programs in Philadelphia, Northern Kentucky, Minneapolis/St. Paul, and Chicago.
Domestic & International Grants
PIFBS has an application process for both domestic and international grant requests. Domestically, PIFBS gets new and gently used gear to baseball and softball programs to increase youth participation in under-resourced communities.
Internationally, PIFBS sends gear to many countries where interest in the game is growing rapidly, but access to baseball and softball equipment is limited. We help communities establish baseball and softball programs by sending them the gear they need.
Disaster Relief
In times of tragedy, baseball and softball can help to restore a sense of normalcy for children amidst the chaos. We have helped dozens of communities around the globe recover, at no cost to them, following hurricanes, tornados, or other catastrophic events.
These projects have taken place in New York and New Jersey; Joplin, Missouri; the Gulf Coast region; Japan; Houston, Texas; West Virginia; Louisiana; Puerto Rico; and the Caribbean Islands.
Targeted Programs
PIFBS works with partners to identify communities of interest and scope of project. PIFBS manages all components from program development to measuring impact based on partners’ charitable interests.
Some current partners include MLB, Little League, the MLB/MLB-PA Youth Development Foundation, and Wilson Sporting Goods.
PIFBS had an outstanding August! ✨ We donated more than $45,000 in equipment, impacting the lives of over 2,500 kids! Our support reached programs across five states: Florida, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Oklahoma. We also continued our commitment to international growth by supporting programs in Bhutan. We`re proud to help kids #playball. Thank you to all of our #donors and #partners for making our work possible!🙌

🌟💖 A little kindness goes a long way! PIFBS recently gave Corry Little League an equipment grant and was able to support a 14 year old who faced a heartbreaking loss when a fire destroyed her home and all her softball gear on Memorial Day. From the President of Corry Little League: "thanks to your generous donations, we were able to provide her with a new helmet and fielder’s mask, plus a gift card to help her get back on the field! Let’s keep spreading the love, team!"💙⚾️

At PIFBS, every child deserves to play! Earlier this year, we were honored to be able to support Williamsport Area Little League (WALL), in a town synonomous for youth baseball/softball.
Coach Tanya Tompkins of WALL captures the essence of what we do: “Your program helps ease financial stress by providing the basic equipment needed to play. It makes a big difference for those who can’t afford a glove, which is essential for softball.”
We’re not just giving kids gloves and bats; we’re filling their lives with hope, positivity, and a sense of belonging. Tanya explained, “In a world where so much can go wrong, softball and baseball can bring positive change to a child’s life, especially if they lack positivity. It can truly change their lives for the better.” ⚾❤️
