Mission

PROVIDE FINANCIAL SUPPORT TO AREA ORGANIZATIONS THAT SERVE THE NEEDS OF CHILDREN IN THE ST. LOUIS AREA.

Activities or mission (Part I)

TO MAKE A POSITIVE IMPACT ON CHILDREN AND THEIR FAMILIES THROUGHOUT THE CARDINALS FAN TERRITORY

  • THE PRIMARY PURPOSE OF THE ST. LOUIS CARDINALS COMMUNITY FUND (CARDINALS CARE) IS TO BENEFIT LOCAL YOUTH AND RELATED ORGANIZATIONS. THIS IS ACCOMPLISHED BY PROVIDING VARIOUS OUTREACH PROGRAMS INCLUDING BASEBALL AND EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS, AS WELL AS PROVIDING FINANCIAL SUPPORT TO MANY WORTHY 501(C)(3) ORGANIZATIONS THAT SERVE THE NEEDS OF CHILDREN IN THE ST. LOUIS COMMUNITY. SINCE FORMATION, CARDINALS CARE HAS INVESTED OVER $35 MILLION TO SUPPORT ST. LOUIS AREA CHILDREN AND BUILT 25 YOUTH BALL FIELDS IN LOCAL UNDER-RESOURCED NEIGHBORHOODS. CARDINALS CARE ALSO SPONSORS THE REDBIRD ROOKIES PROGRAM, A FREE BASEBALL LEAGUE FOR KIDS WHO OTHERWISE MIGHT NOT HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO PLAY. IN ADDITION TO PROVIDING ALL THE UNIFORMS, GLOVES, BATS, BALLS AND OTHER EQUIPMENT NEEDED FOR EACH TEAM, THE REDBIRD ROOKIES PROGRAM ALSO PROVIDES EXTENSIVE OFF-FIELD SUPPORT IN THE AREAS OF HEALTH, EDUCATION, MENTORING AND CULTURAL ARTS SCHOLARSHIPS FOR THE NEARLY 2,000 KIDS WHO PARTICIPATE IN THE REDBIRD ROOKIES PROGRAM EACH YEAR. IN ADDITION TO THE NUMEROUS ANNUAL OUTREACH PROGRAMS, CARDINALS CARE ALSO PROVIDES FINANCIAL SUPPORT BY ISSUING CASH GRANTS TO LOCAL CHARITABLE YOUTH ORGANIZATIONS WITH APPROXIMATELY 150 ORGANIZATIONS BENEFITING EACH YEAR.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.

Other IRS files

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.

The registration facts above come from the IRS Business Master File published 13 October 2026 and read 26 October 2026, for every organization at once. Returns through tax year 2024, the newest we have parsed for this organization.
