Support Our Mission: Help Us Build a Stronger Future for Our Players
At Golden State Grind, we are committed to providing a comprehensive and high-quality baseball program that focuses on developing both the athletic and personal growth of our players. But we can’t do it alone. Your support and contributions play a critical role in making this possible.
Why Your Donation Matters
Running a successful and impactful baseball program comes with significant expenses, from team travel and tournament fees to equipment, apparel, and memberships. These investments are essential to ensuring that our players receive the best training, experiences, and opportunities for success.
How Your Donation Makes a Difference
Your generous donation will directly contribute to our mission of providing top-tier baseball training and support for underprivileged families, allowing us to offer scholarships, fund travel expenses, purchase equipment, and cover other critical program costs. By helping us with these efforts, you are investing in the development of future athletes, leaders, and role models.
100% Tax Deductible
We understand the importance of transparency and making your contribution as beneficial as possible. As a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, all donations made to Golden State Grind are 100% tax-deductible. If needed, our Non-Profit Tax ID is available upon request.

Your contribution is more than just a donation; it is an investment in the future of our players. With your help, we can continue to provide young athletes with the tools, resources, and opportunities they need to succeed on and off the field.
