Major League Baseball and the MLB Players Association have committed $10 million to help fund programs from The Players Alliance aimed to increase Black American participation in all levels of baseball.

The Players Alliance is made up of more than 100 active and former MLB players.

Through the programs, The Players Alliance will receive grants, delivered annually through 2024, for programs meant to increase player-led mentorship; raise participation in baseball among Black youth and young adults through the funding of leagues, equipment donations and tournaments; offer Black cultural education, camps and programs aimed to break down barriers to baseball; increase Black business partnerships; support baseball programs in public schools; and provide grants, scholarships and community services to the Black community.
