Overview
Mission
Building With Baseball Inc. BWB is a D.C. nonprofit corporation incorporated and operated exclusively for charitable religious educational and scientific purposes within the meaning of section 501c3 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. More specifically but without limitation BWB is organized and operated to organize trips and projects that offer student athletes in the United States the opportunity to engage in various types of service and sports activities with underprivileged individuals in the Dominican Republic that seek to provide relief of the impoverished and build international understanding and relationships.
What it reported doing in 2024
BWB successfully conducted its primary service activity consisting of an annual week-long trip to the Dominican Republic by more than 30 high school students who attend school and play varsity baseball at various high schools in Washington DC along with several high school coaches and accompanied by adult chaperones including high school administrators and parents. The US participants were provided with extensive opportunities to engage in service activities painting building and repairing homes mixing and pouring concrete floors interacting with children at an orphanage for severely disabled children and other service activities; to interact and play baseball games with local Dominican youth; and to engage in other social and cultural activities while in the DR. Most US participants paid the direct cost of their participation in the trip while some with financial need received full or partial fee waivers.
