Charitable Giving

Foundation Giving

David Samson and FMCF Logo The Miami Marlins consider it both an obligation and a pleasure to support the South Florida region. The Cornerstones for Kids programs help meet the needs of our growing, vibrant and diverse community.

The three elements of the Cornerstones for Kids Programs consist of baseball, arts and education. For a community to thrive, it must support each of these three areas in order to create a buttress on which our whole area may sit.

If you are a non-profit organization, and if your project fits into our Cornerstones for Kids elements, we invite you to submit a grant proposal directly to the Miami Marlins Community Foundation.

Please visit our website to learn more about how the Miami Marlins can help make dreams come true for you. Don't forget that in order to receive proper consideration, please follow all of the enclosed guidelines.

Our commitment to you will never waver.

Regards,

David Samson
President
