The 3 Up 3 Down Organization strives to promote, strengthen, and foster youth baseball (and other youth sports) in and around the Hudson Valley as well as provide additional community support for those with developmental disabilities. The intent of the program is to support in-house programs, programs that support those with developmental disabilities, getting children involved and keeping them in the sport versus leaving the game. New in 2026 will be additional grants to support select scholastic baseball programs. Thank you for supporting and promoting youth baseball. Our organization will always take under advisement special circumstances.
2026 Grant Process
The Grant Process opened February 1, 2026 and closed March 15, 2026.
In-house programs, scholastic baseball programs (middle and high school baseball/softball programs), and programs that support those with developmental disabilities are eligible and welcome to apply. Travel baseball programs are not eligible.
Other sports programs (basketball, wresting, soccer, football, etc) will have a separate application time-frame for 2026 and will be announced late spring.
(Upon filling out the grant application, please also submit a statement in a separate email to rstockfield@3u3d.org how your organization would use funds and/or what are the program’s needs. Additional information may be requested at a later date if your organization will be considered for a 2026 grant.)
