THE FOUNDATION'S EFFORTS ARE PRIMARILY FOCUSED ON OUR CORNERSTONE PROGRAMS, MOST OF WHICH ARE RUN IN PART OR WHOLE BY THE RED SOX FOUNDATION. THEY INCLUDE RED SOX SCHOLARS, THE RED SOX FOUNDATION'S ROOKIE AND RBI YOUTH LEAGUE BASEBALL AND SOFTBALL TEAMS, THE RED SOX FOUNDATION AND MGH HOME BASE PROGRAM FOR VETERANS RETURNING FROM IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN WITH COMBAT STRESS AND TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY AND THEIR FAMILIES, SUPPORT FOR THE JIMMY FUND FOR CUTTING EDGE RESEARCH AT DANA FARBER CANCER INSTITUTE AND SUPPORT FOR CHILDREN'S PROGRAMMING AT THE DIMOCK CENTER, A SOCIAL SERVICE AGENCY SERVING SOME OF BOSTON'S MOST DISADVANTAGED FAMILIES IN ROXBURY. A NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED AWARD WINNING NONPROFIT, THE RED SOX FOUNDATION (RSF) WAS NAMED BEST TEAM CHARITY IN SPORTS BY THE SP true false 4286815 4076809 3234912 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. THE PROGRAM PROVIDES CONFIDENTIAL CLINICAL CARE FOR VETERANS, INNOVATIVE TREATMENTS, SUPPORT SERVICES AND COUNSELING FOR WOUNDED VETERANS FAMILIES, COMMUNITY OUTREACH AND EDUCATION TO HELP OTHERS RECOGNIZE THESE INJURIES, WHICH STUDIES SUGGEST MAY AFFECT AS MANY AS 30% OF VETS RETURNING FROM SERVICE, AND CUTTING EDGE RESEARCH. IN ADDITION TO RAISING OVER $8 MILLION FOR THE PROGRAM OVER THE PAST 2 YEARS, 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 CONFIDENTIAL 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. RSF STAFF ALSO WORK WITH MILITARY AND VETERANS GROUPS AND THEIR FAMILIES TO BREAK THROUGH THE STIGMA THAT OFTEN PREVENTS VETERANS FROM SEEKING THE HELP THEY NEED. JUMPSTARTED BY RED SOX CHAIRMAN TOM WERNER AFTER A VISIT TO WALTER REED HOSPITAL IN EARLY 2008, THE RED SOX FOUNDATION AND MGH HOME BASE PROGRAM ALSO PARTNERS WITH CORPORATIONS AND OTHER NON PROFITS SEEKING TO HELP WOUNDED VETERANS WITH THESE TWO OFTEN DEBILITATING AND UNDER RECOGNIZED INJURIES. A KEY COMPONENT OF THE CHARITABLE PROGRAM IS ITS OUTREACH FOR FAMILY MEMBERS OF WOUNDED VETERANS. WHILE THE VA SERVES VETERANS THEY ARE LIMITED ON WHAT SERVICES THEY CAN OFFER VETERANS FAMILY MEMBERS. THE RED SOX FOUNDATION RECOGNIZES THAT WHEN A MILITARY MEMBER IS WOUNDED, HIS OR HER FAMILY IS WOUNDED TOO. SO WITH THE SUPPORT OF THE TEAM, PLAYERS, THEIR WIVES, VETERANS FAMILY MEMBERS, RED SOX FANS FROM ACROSS THE GLOBE AND SPONSORS INCLUDING NEW BALANCE AND BAE SYSTEMS, THE RED SOX FOUNDATION ALSO HOSTS A CHARITABLE FUNDRAISER KNOWN AS "THE RUN TO HOME BASE", A 9K FUNDRAISING RUN THAT ENDS WITH RUNNERS CROSSING HOME PLATE AT HISTORIC FENWAY PARK.

"RBI HAS MADE A HUGE DIFFERENCE IN MY LIFE," EXPLAINS RBI ALUMNI J.J. ADAMES, WHO RECENTLY GRADUATED FROM COLLEGE. "GROWING UP IN THE INNER CITY, THERE ARE A LOT OF DISTRACTIONS AND PLENTY OF CHANCES TO MAKE UNHEALTHY AND DESTRUCTIVE CHOICES. BUT RBI KEPT ME ON TRACK AND ENCOURAGED ME TO LIVE UP TO MY POTENTIAL. WITHOUT THE RED SOX FOUNDATION'S RBI PROGRAM, I THINK MANY OF US WOULD NOT BE WHERE WE ARE TODAY.

Purpose of Grants: The Boston Red Sox Foundation funds grants to our cornerstone programs which are run by the Foundation (Red Sox Scholars, RBI/Rookie League) and cornerstone programs run by other charities (The Dimock Center, The Jimmy Fund, and The Red Sox Foundation and MGH Home Base Program) and a limited number of other select nonprofit programs that support recreational, educational and social service needs of at risk children and families, and wounded veterans with Traumatic Brain injuries and PTSD and their families. Our primary focus is on Massachusetts and New England. Description of Organization's Procedures for Monitoring the Use of Grants: Grant requests are presented to the board for review (board meets 2-3 times per year). The board also reviews the organization's 990, budgets for programs applying for funds, copies of their 501(c)(3) records, and other pertinent information. The board votes to decide on whether or not to make grants. The Executive Director evaluates programs seeking grants to substantiate the need for and impact of proposed grants and makes recommendations. Smaller grants (usually under $2,500) are reviewed by a charitable giving committee, but are approved by the Foundation Board in the budgeting process. false false false false false false false false false MEG VAILLANCOURT 190102 21122 1350 150 8584 954 0 0 0 0 200036 22226 0 0 DAVID FRIEDMAN 53132 346868 199 1300 1327 8662 0 0 0 0 54658 356830 Supplemental Compensation Information The Boston Red Sox Baseball Club (The Club) pays on a biweekly basis, the administrative salaries and benefits of staff working for the Red Sox Foundation are on a full or part time basis.

THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AND LEGAL COUNSEL HAVE SPECIFIC RESPONSIBILITIES TO THE TEAM, SO A PRORATED PORTION OF THEIR SALARY AND BENEFITS ARE PAID BY THE BOSTON RED SOX WITHOUT REIMBURSEMENT BY THE FOUNDATION. ALL OTHER SALARIES AND BENEFIT EXPENSES FOR THE FOUNDATION STAFF ARE PAID FOR VIA REIMBURSEMENTS MADE BY THE RED SOX FOUNDATION. PART III, LINE 2 IN 2010, THE RED SOX FOUNDATION WAS ABLE TO EXPAND THE SERVICES PROVIDED TO WOUNDED VETERANS AND THEIR FAMILIES THROUGH THE RED SOX FOUNDATION AND MASSACHUSETTS GENERAL HOSPITAL HOME BASE PROGRAM. THE RUN TO HOME BASE, A NEW FUNDRAISING EVENT IN 2010, IS A 9K (5.6 MILE) FUN RUN ENDING WITH A TIMED FINISH IN FRONT OF THE GREEN MONSTER AND A PHOTO FINISH OF RUNNERS CROSSING HOME PLATE AT FENWAY PARK. MORE THAN 2,500 FANS PARTICIPATED IN THE EVENT AND MORE THAN 12,000 FANS CAME TO FENWAY TO WATCH THE RUNNERS AND CHEER THEM ON. THE EVENT WAS SO SUCCESSFUL WE WILL NOW INCLUDE IT AS PART OF OUR ANNUAL FUNDRAISING AND AS A WAY OF PROMOTING THE PROGRAM SO THAT WOUNDED VETERANS WITH TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURIES AND POST TRAUMATIC STRESS AND THEIR FAMILIES KNOW THEY CAN SEEK FREE AND CONFIDENTIAL CARE FROM THE HOME BASE PROGRAM. PART VI, LINE 2 FOUR OUT OF EIGHT RED SOX FOUNDATION BOARD MEMBERS ARE ALSO PARTNERS OF NEW ENGLAND SPORTS VENTURES. NO CURRENT BOARD MEMBERS HOLD MORE THAN 35% OWNERSHIP OF THE BOSTON RED SOX.

PART VI, QUESTION 12C THE RED SOX FOUNDATION HAS A WRITTEN CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY IN EFFECT. BOARD MEMBERS MUST RECUSE THEMSELVES, REFRAINING FROM DISCUSSION AND MUST LEAVE THE ROOM DURING A VOTE ON ANY GRANT THAT INVOLVES A NONPROFIT WHERE THEY SERVE ON THE BOARD OR WHERE A RELATIVE BY BLOOD OR MARRIAGE SERVES AS AN EMPLOYEE, BOARD MEMBER, FUNDRAISER OR OTHER INTERESTED PARTY AFFILIATED WITH THE NONPROFIT UNDER CONSIDERATION FOR A GRANT. BOARD MEMBERS ARE BARRED FROM PARTICIPATING IN GRANT MAKING DECISIONS TO NONPROFITS WHERE THEY OR THEIR CLOSE RELATIVES THROUGH BLOOD OR MARRIAGE ARE AN INTERESTED PARTY. BOARD MEMBERS ARE REMINDED OF THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY AT EACH BOARD MEETING. THE FOUNDATION ALSO REQUIRES A WRITTEN ANNUAL SURVEY OF BOARD MEMBERS, IN WHICH EACH MEMBER MUST LIST ANY NONPROFIT WHERE THEY HAVE A ROLE OR SIT ON THE BOARD OR WHERE A RELATIVE THROUGH BLOOD OR MARRIAGE 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 NONPROFIT BOARD OR A RELATIVE BECOMES EMPLOYED BY, SERVES AS A FUNDRAISER OR OTHERWISE BECOMES AN INTERESTED PARTY WITH ANY NONPROFIT). BOARD MEMBERS ARE ASKED TO ANNUALLY REFRAIN IN WRITING THEY UNDERSTAND AND RESPECT THIS CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY. THIS POLICY IS ALSO FOLLOWED BY THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR. PART VI, QUESTION 15A AN OUTSIDE INDEPENDENT COMPANY IS HIRED TO CONDUCT A SURVEY AND EVALUATE AND RECOMMEND THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR SALARY EVERY FEW YEARS. THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR'S COMPENSATION IS DECIDED BY THE BOSTON RED SOX BECAUSE SHE IS A BOSTON RED SOX EMPLOYEE. THE BOSTON RED SOX PAYS A PORTION OF THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR'S SALARY TO COVER WORK DONE THAT IS UNRELATED TO THE TEAM CHARITY. PART VI, QUESTION 15B NONE OF THE FOUNDATION'S BOARD MEMBERS, OTHER THAN THE FOUNDATION'S EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, RECEIVES ANY COMPENSATION FOR THEIR WORK AS A BOARD MEMBER OF THE FOUNDATION. LIKEWISE, NO BOARD MEMBERS RECEIVE PAYMENT FOR ANY CONSULTING OR PROFESSIONAL SERVICES TO THE FOUNDATION.
