Through our own donations and funds raised externally we hope to better the physical, mental and spiritual well being of children.  Toward that end, we will minimize expenses by targeting an average annual budget for charitable giving in excess of eighty percent of funds received from all sources.  The foundation has no payroll and executive support from board members involves donated time. 

The funding for the foundation comes from public sources. While the initial funding came from Gary and his family, he continues to work hard soliciting donations and holding fund-raising events. This despite the increased constraints on his time since being inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame.  Besides selling memorabilia, Gary hosts two golf tournaments during the year, as well as making various appearances.
