Considered one of the greatest home run hitters, most feared sluggers of any era, and called by many “the Black Babe Ruth”, Josh Gibson left an undeniable legacy of greatness and accomplishment.

To honor that legacy of achievement, the surviving family members established a private, non-profit foundation in 1994. 

Our goal was initially to provide the type of access that Josh Gibson never enjoyed with the creation of facilities and baseball fields dedicated to the youth of the Pittsburgh community.

The Josh Gibson Foundation has evolved into an organization dedicated to providing a variety of academic and athletic programs that allow the next Josh Gibson to reach his or her potential. In addition, another goal is the establishment of the Josh Gibson Negro League Museum. Because preserving a heritage of achievement helps inspire the accomplishments of tomorrow.
