Since its inception in 2001, the Reds Community Fund (RCF) has used baseball as a vehicle to reach out to kids. As one of the nonprofit arms of baseball's first professional team, the Community Fund strives to create programming that connects underserved children with baseball and softball, while creating fundraising programs that connect baseball with the community. The RCF has been passionately focused on providing equitable access to baseball and softball to underserved children in the Cincinnati area, and has developed long-standing programs and facilities that are available to all Cincinnati children year-round.
