Cardinals Fly Together Fund - Worship Wednesday Grants

Faith, Specialty

Ongoing

The Springfield Cardinals Fly Together Fund has been created to provide grants to area nonprofit organizations as an opportunity for fans to attend a Springfield Cardinals home game. Attending an event together is shown to strengthen and develop relationships in our community. 

Recognized houses of worship and faith-based organizations with 501(c)3 status may apply for a matching grant to assist in bringing a group to any Worship Wednesday home game during the 2026 season. Worship Wednesday is scheduled to take place on select Wednesday night games throughout the season and will include a short message in addition to pre-game worship music taking place during pre-game. Then, stay for an evening of fellowship with your group at a Springfield Cardinals baseball game.

Matching grants may be awarded as full or partial requests to provide an amount equal to the amount contributed by the organization for a Springfield Cardinals Worship Wednesday event. For example, a full grant will cover 50% of the ticket cost for tickets requested through the grant. A partial grant will cover 25% of the ticket cost for tickets requested through the grant.
