Board members must recuse themselves during a vote on any grant that involves a non-profit where they serve on the board or where a direct family member serves as an employee, board member, fundraiser or other interested party affiliated with the non-profit under consideration for a grant. The Foundation requires a written annual survey of board members, in which each member must list any non-profit where they have a role or sit on the board or where a direct family member sits on the board, is employed by or is an interested or influential party. Board members also have a responsibility to update their conflict of interest policy forms annually or as needed (when they or a relative joins a new non-profit board or a relative becomes employed by, serves as a fundraiser or otherwise becomes an interested party with any non-profit). Board members are asked to annually confirm in writing they understand and respect this conflict of interest policy. This policy is also followed by the executive director.”

Supplemental Narrative
Additional Explanations
Form 990, Part I, Question 1
“ORGANIZATION'S MISSION OR MOST SIGNIFICANT ACTIVITIES CONTINUED The main focus is on the Red Sox Foundation's five cornerstone programs run by the foundation. Our cornerstone programs include: The Red Sox Scholars program for at risk Boston Public School students, our Inner City Youth Baseball and Softball programs, the Red Sox Foundation MGH Home Base Program for wounded veterans and their families: support for the Dimock center, a separate 501(c)(3) social and health service agency in Roxbury and support for the Jimmy Fund, a separate non profit fundraising for the Dana Farber Cancer Institute. The Red Sox Foundation's activities also include community service projects, scholarships in New England and player and fan engagement in New England based charitable activities as well as auxiliary small rotating grants. FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4D OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES THE RED SOX FOUNDATION RUNS A NUMBER OF PROGRAMS AND DISTRIBUTES MANY GRANTS EACH YEAR. THE PROGRAMS LISTED IN PART 4A, 4B AND 4C REPRESENT THREE OF THE MAJOR PROGRAMS. THE OTHER PROGRAMS AND GRANTS COMPLY WITH THE MISSION STATEMENT SET OUT IN PART III, QUESTION 1. FORM 990, PART VI, QUESTION 1B NUMBER OF INDEPENDENT BOARD MEMBERS The Red Sox Foundation was set up with less than 50% independent board.

The structure has not changed since the organization applied for and received its IRS Determination Letter.”

| IRS990/Desc | 0 | Red Sox Foundation and MGH Home Base Program - The Red Sox Foundation and MGH Home Base Program serve veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan with traumatic brain injury or combat stress and their families. This program provides confidential clinical care for veterans, innovative treatments, support services and counseling for wounded veterans and families, community outreach and education to help others recognize these injuries and cutting edge research. In addition to raising over $15 million for the program, the Red Sox Foundation also has made substantial investments in staff time and in kind resources to support this program and help promote it to military and veterans who need confidentiality and, if uninsured, free care for TBI and PTSD. The Red Sox Foundation works with medical experts at Mass General Hospital who provide direct care services. Red Sox Foundation staff also work with military and veteran groups and their families to break through the stigma that often prevents veterans from seeking the help they need. |

| IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc | 0 | Red Sox Scholars - The Red Sox Scholars program provides mentoring, enrichment opportunities, and college scholarships to more than 240 academically talented low income students selected in Boston's public schools when they are in the 7th grade. The scholars work with the Red Sox Foundation staff throughout middle and high school. The goal is to ensure these at risk students escape the inner city's high dropout rate and instead graduate from high school and are prepared to attend college. The program also provides each student with the promise of a college scholarship ranging in value from $5,000 to $10,000 - pending enrollment in an accredited college and continued good citizenship. The scholarships are paid directly to the college of choice, and not to the students or family members. The Red Sox Scholars also participate in special activities at Fenway Park including attending Red Sox games, community service day, events with players and their wives, skills building, job fairs (for High School students) and college prep classes. In 2010, the Red Sox scholars program was nationally recognized when the team won the first-ever 'MLB Commissioner's Award for Philanthropic Excellence' specifically for the Red Sox Scholars program. The New England Red Sox Service Scholarships award college scholarships to public high school seniors across New England who demonstrate academic excellence and a commitment to community service. |

| IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc | 0 | RBI and Rookie League Baseball - The Red Sox Foundation's RBI and Rookie League Program provide inner city youth, from age 6 through age 19, the opportunity to learn valuable life skills while learning and playing baseball and softball. The Red Sox Foundation's Rookie League program provides supplies, equipment and enrichment opportunities to more than 1,000 youngsters aged 6-12 years, while the RBI program is more structured and serves more than 700 males and females up to age 19. Each Spring, the Red Sox Foundation funds uniforms, equipment, umpire fees and a community service day. Red Sox Foundation staff also help provide life-skill classes to 34 inner-city baseball and softball teams. The Red Sox Foundation seeks to leverage the student's love for the sport and to teach them non-violent conflict resolution skills, respect for rules and others, the importance of teamwork and resistance to drugs and alcohol. Working with an extraordinary cadre of volunteer coaches, the small Red Sox Foundation staff run the program from March through October, with substantial time spent planning activities and coaching support programs during the winter months. Massachusetts little league initiative expands on the important work with Boston's inner city youth and the RBI/Rookie Youth Baseball. The team charity sponsors 200 little league teams in the commonwealth of Massachusetts. |
