BREAKING NEWS: How the Reds Community Fund Gives Back… SEE MORE

In an inspiring demonstration of sportsmanship off the field, the Reds Community Fund continues to make a profound impact across Greater Cincinnati and beyond. As the charitable arm of the Cincinnati Reds, the Fund goes far beyond baseball—fostering youth development, educational advancement, and neighborhood revitalization through a variety of programs aimed at uplifting underserved communities.

Founded in 2001, the Reds Community Fund (RCF) has invested millions of dollars and volunteer hours to give back to the fans and families who support the team year after year. Whether through renovated ballfields, mentorship programs, or scholarships, the mission is clear: Baseball is just the beginning.

Youth Baseball & Softball at the Core

At the heart of the RCF’s mission is providing access to the game. Through initiatives like the RBI (Reviving Baseball in Inner Cities) program and the Match Program, thousands of kids gain access to equipment, uniforms, coaching, and facilities they might not otherwise afford. These programs aren’t just about playing ball—they teach teamwork, discipline, and confidence.

P&G MLB Cincinnati Reds Youth Academy

The state-of-the-art Youth Academy in Roselawn serves as a year-round hub for youth sports and academic support. From hosting baseball camps to after-school tutoring and college prep, the Academy provides a safe, enriching environment that levels the playing field for underserved youth.

Field Renovations & Urban Development

The Fund has led dozens of field renovation projects across the Tri-State, turning underused or unsafe spaces into thriving community centers. Each ballfield restored represents a new opportunity for connection, safety, and pride in local neighborhoods.

Education, Mentorship, and Career Pathways

Beyond athletics, the RCF offers career exploration and mentorship programs like Redlegs Run for Home and Community Makeover Week, which unite volunteers, businesses, and students in meaningful community service. These efforts connect youth with leaders in sports, education, and industry—opening doors to brighter futures.

Community Events & Fundraisers

Annual events like the Reds Community Fund Telethon, Redlegs Run, and the Marty Brennaman Golf Classic raise millions in donations—while bringing fans, players, and civic leaders together for a greater cause.
