Applications for Atlanta Braves Foundation grants will be accepted through Aug. 31 for youth-serving organizations that focus on health, education and recreation.

Since its beginning in 1994, the foundation has provided support to thousands of metro Atlanta-based organizations and contributed more than $5.6 million in financial and in-kind assistance to the community.

Through Braves Give, a community outreach platform, the Atlanta Braves Foundation awarded more than $300,000 to local nonprofit organizations last year.
