For Angelenos with limited access to education, sports and healthcare, the Los Angeles Dodgers Foundation is a champion that increases the quality of life and confidence of the people we serve by using our historic Dodger brand and the power of sport to run and fund proven programs -- at a time when a quality education, youth sports and health care are increasingly reserved for the elite. We want to impact Los Angeles' most pressing problems and improve education, health care, homelessness, and social justice for all Angelenos. To date, LADF has grown to impact over 2.3 million youth through direct programs and grants to local nonprofit organizations, including serving over 10,000 youth annually through its sports-based youth development program, Dodgers RBI, 10,000 youth through its LA Reads literacy initiative that inspires thousands of children to build a lifelong love of reading, and providing 368,000 youth access to safe, playable fields in their neighborhoods with 51 completed Dodgers Dreamfields.
