About DANTE BENEDETTI FOUNDATION

The Dante Benedetti Foundation is a San Francisco-based 501(c)(3) public charity that preserves the legacy of Dante Benedetti by supporting youth athletic participation and development across the Bay Area. The organization directs funding and in-kind support to glove drives, equipment purchases, field renovations, scholarships and special-clinic programming aimed at underserved young people. Since its founding in the mid-2000s the foundation reports having raised more than $1.2 million (since 2006) and highlights support activities that have reached tens of thousands of children. DBF remains an active donor-facing charity with an events-driven fundraising model (annual Dante Benedetti Classic, golf tournaments and partner-driven clinics) and recent filings show continued small-scale grantmaking and fundraising activity through 2023–2024.
