Overview

The Red Sox Foundation provides programmatic grants to support non-profits focused on health, education, and recreation in New England. Grants typically range from $1,000 to $10,000, with larger requests by invitation only. Organizations must have 501(c)(3) status and can only apply once per year. The foundation emphasizes its commitment to making a positive impact in the community, although it cannot support every request due to the volume of applications.

NOTE: Please note that we anticipate a tremendous number of requests this year. While we will do our best to accommodate as many non-profits as possible, we simply cannot support every organization requesting funding or partnership. Lastly, please note that organizations can only request and receive funding once per calendar year.
Background
As a true non-profit public charity, the Red Sox Foundation is incredibly fortunate to have the ability to support other non-profits through small grants. We are excited to provide support to organizations that align with our mission, which is to make a difference in the lives of children, veterans, families and communities in need throughout New England by improving their health, educational and recreational opportunities. This is only possible through an aggressive fundraising strategy, which is heavily reliant upon access to both Fenway Park and Red Sox Nation.
Please note that we anticipate a tremendous number of requests this year.
