Logo for the 2024 Allan H. Selig Award for Philanthropic Excellence

The Allan H. Selig Award for Philanthropic Excellence was created in 2010 to recognize the charitable and philanthropic efforts of MLB Clubs.

2024 Selig Award Recipient: Washington Nationals

Washington Nationals: For 10 years, the Washington Nationals Youth Baseball Academy has used baseball and softball as vehicles to foster positive character development, academic achievement and improved health among youth living in underserved communities. It embodies the broader mission of Nationals Philanthropies rooted in fueling access to opportunities so all of D.C.'s children, families and communities can thrive. The Academy has served more than 6,000 children ages 5-18 through a continuum of programs, and invested $50 million in the community through facility construction, capital improvements, community outreach and program delivery.

About the 2024 Finalists


Our Promise to Hank: Braves building equity & access to our game

The goals of this initiative include: increasing minority participation and tenure in the sport through high-quality baseball and softball experiences; increasing opportunities and safe places to access baseball and softball in historically under-resourced communities; increasing exposure for minority players at the high school, collegiate and pro levels, and ultimately, participation at the collegiate, MiLB and MLB levels of the sport both on the field and off; and leveraging Braves resources as a Major League Club, ballpark and brand to provide access and opportunities for diverse players, coaches and professionals on the field and in the front offices of our sport.

Careers As Sports Executives (CASE)

Too often, the doors to opportunity in sports are open only to those who have connections or know someone in the industry. Careers As Sports Executives (CASE) is a free study program for high school students who are interested in sports -- and perhaps careers in sports -- but who would otherwise not have the opportunity to get the training, experience and tutelage to pursue jobs in the industry. CASE aims to offer pathways to create a more diverse workforce in the sports industry. Students gain an understanding of the academic and professional pathways they can take to break into the sports industry and make connections they can count on to help them start their career.

Shut Out the Stigma

Shut Out the Stigma was created to use the platforms of the Kansas City Royals and Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas City to raise awareness for mental health issues, raise money for mental health initiatives and provide resources for people in need. Previously, we worked to raise awareness for mental health issues in sports, and these past two seasons, we took it to a new level by shining a light on the toxicity in youth sports. Headline after headline talks about how the perfectionism demanded by coaches and parents contributes to youth athletes developing anxiety, leaving the game and even having worse mental health outcomes. We encourage you to learn more about our initiative, including watching our documentary ¡°Not Good Enough¡± and taking the accompanying course to acquire tools on how to balance constructive feedback with encouragement and support.

Ball for All

When it comes to adaptive programs, the Twins Community Fund leads the way with individualized instruction that not only meets kids¡¯ needs, but meets them where they¡¯re at to help them grow. The Twins work with partners including Deaf Equity, Special Olympics Minnesota, Courage Kenny Rehabilitation Institute and NubAbility to host adaptive baseball and softball clinics tailored to meet the needs of individual communities so athletes of all abilities can learn the fundamentals of the game, experience the fun of the game and learn life skills like leadership and resilience. From introductory clinics to training camps and league play, the Twins are committed to expanding opportunities for young people of all abilities to play and succeed in the games we love. LEARN MORE

The annual Community Makeover brings together some of Cincinnati¡¯s most iconic institutions, including P&G, the Cincinnati Zoo, Cincinnati Children¡¯s Hospital, GE Aerospace and the United Way of Greater Cincinnati, to make a sustainable impact on a local neighborhood while strengthening youth baseball and softball programs.
