Field Of Dreams made possible by TD is Jays Care's granting program that provides funding to design, refurbish and build local baseball diamonds in communities across the country. Field Of Dreams diamonds are created to be safe and inclusive spaces where communities can connect, and kids can grow. In past 10 years, Jays Care has invested nearly $15 million into 163 Field Of Dreams diamonds across 10 provinces and two territories.
Congratulations to our 2025 Field Of Dreams Recipients!
Jays Care is proud to commit more than $1.5 million in community infrastructure investments across Canada in 2025 through Field Of Dreams made possible by TD. Fifteen organizations across six provinces will receive funding to build, enhance, or refurbish local baseball diamonds in their community. These diamonds will help expand the game of baseball across Canada, while providing kids with a safe and inclusive space to develop important life skills, learn from positive role models, build friendships with their peers, and grow a love of the game!
“Jays Care is thrilled to partner with these 15 outstanding organizations, all committed to bringing the game of baseball to more children and youth across the country. These new diamonds will be more than just places to play; they’ll be hubs for community connection where young people can get active, learn, and grow a love for the game of baseball. Now more than ever, we’re proud to invest in Canadian communities and create opportunities for kids to experience the power of being part of a team. Thank you to all who submitted proposals, and we look forward to seeing these projects come to life and the positive impact they’ll have on the next generation from coast to coast to coast.” - Peter King, Acting Executive Director, Jays Care Foundation

Emergency Relief Funding
Jays Care’s Emergency Relief Fund was created to help Canadian kids get back to the diamond following natural disasters in their community. Funds granted support capital repairs to baseball diamonds and/or the replacement of equipment to help leagues and get kids back to playing the game they love. The Fund also supports investments in equipment or infrastructure intended to protect diamonds from the elements and reduce playing time lost due to inclement weather.
If your local diamond has been affected by a natural disaster, apply now for the Emergency Relief Fund, or email fieldofdreams@bluejays.com to learn more.
