Colorado Rockies Baseball Club Foundation/Colorado Rockies Charity Fund

Mission:

The Colorado Rockies operate two charities: the Colorado Rockies Baseball Club Foundation and the Colorado Rockies Charity Fund, a fund of the Robert R. McCormick Tribune Foundation.

The Rockies Foundation was formed in 1991 as a public charitable organization with emphasis toward underprivileged and at-risk youth through programs for youth baseball, drug- and alcohol-abuse awareness and prevention, and education and literacy.

The Rockies Charity Fund was formed in 1993 with the same targeted areas as the Foundation. The Charity Fund is a fund partner of the Robert R. McCormick Tribune Foundation, a national charitable trust whose philanthropic mission is carried out through four program areas: communities, journalism, education and citizenship.

Since their inception, the Colorado Rockies Baseball Club Foundation and the Colorado Rockies Charity Fund have contributed more than $16 million to community programs in the Rocky Mountain region.

The Rockies' players and staff also contribute directly to community programs and charitable organizations by volunteering their time and participating in more than 200 charitable events each year.
