After receiving nearly 200 applications in 2024, Little League distributed more than $229,000 in funding to a total of 54 leagues. Here's an inside look into a few 2024 #GWG50 grant recipients 🥎 1️⃣ In 2024, North Tahoe LL proudly expanded programming to include Spring Softball for young girls, marking a monumental shift in participation opportunities for young female athletes. In its first season as a chartered Little League Softball program in 2024, North Tahoe LL saw a remarkable 192% increase in girls’ participation, with more than 70 girls joining the league. 🥎2️⃣ After watching its softball registration numbers decline, South Kingstown Little League used the grant to reimagine the branding of its program to increase visibility and create a stronger sense of community. Thanks to the funding, the league was able to purchase new uniforms, launch a new logo for merchandise, and get additional yard signs, banners, and other promotional materials to raise awareness in the community. 🥎3️⃣ In a community where softball and baseball are not offered to youth athletes at the local Kent middle schools, Kent Little League continuously seeks new and innovative ways to expand the program and create more opportunities. On the softball side, the league utilized the grant to improve the safety of their existing field while also constructing a second field to accommodate the growing demand. 🥎4️⃣ Looking to create a more competitive and inclusive environment for its female athletes, Gateway LL used the grant to enhance their fields and increase player safety by purchasing batting cage safety nets, training balls, batting tees, and new catcher’s gear. To give the girls a year-round experience, the league also used the grant to host summer and fall training clinics that focused on developing each player’s skills and on-field confidence.
