Brewers Charities accepts proposals for grants from non-profit organizations in Wisconsin that specialize in activities for children, particularly in recreational activities that help promote interest in baseball and for specific educational programs that are directed toward children. Grant recipients must provide an update of grant-related activities to Brewers Charities, six months after receiving funding.

• Ensures that 100% of the grant funding is used for programs
• Demonstrates additional financial support from sources other than Brewers Charities

Brewers Charities typically issues grants in amounts from $1,000 to $10,000. Exceptions can be made in instances where a good case is made for a program or project.
