Phillies Charities, Inc., the charitable arm of the Philadelphia Phillies, is proud to announce its 2024 community heroes, celebrating 35 extraordinary area charities which provide vital resources to those in need. Collectively, Phillies Charities, Inc. will be awarding $1.4 million in grants, with each nonprofit organization receiving a $40,000 grant to aid in their efforts to make a difference.

“In celebration of our Season of Giving, it is our honor to award a collective $1.4 million in grants to 35 charitable organizations who have gone above and beyond in our community,” said Phillies Charities, Inc. President John Weber. “These grants will help ensure that the important work of our community heroes will continue, thanks to the tremendous support of our fans, front office employees, sponsors and players, along with their wives or significant others.”

Community heroes (listed below) are from charitable organizations in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware, as well as near the Phillies minor league affiliates in Clearwater, Reading and Lehigh Valley. Many will be recognized at the team’s Holiday Giving Party on Wednesday, December 4, at Citizens Bank Park, as well as invited to the Phillies game on April 15 against the San Francisco Giants.
