The Players Trust is a Player created and operated 501(c)3 charitable organization that enables Players to take action collectively to engage, equip, and empower the next generation of kids and aspiring baseball and softball players with programming that focuses on education, mentorship, and skill development on and off the diamond.  Additionally, it supports charitable causes and philanthropic endeavors of personal importance to individual Players and the membership as a whole. Lastly, it helps the communities that Players call home and that have unforeseen difficulties or challenges. For the past 25 years, Major Leaguers have contributed their time, money and voices to raise awareness of important causes around the world. Each year the Players Trust distributes more than $1 million in grants and programs. For additional information, please visit playerstrust.org.
