Foundation To Be Named Later

Foundation To Be Named Later is a Boston nonprofit that channels the city’s love of baseball, music and giving back into opportunity for young people and families. It was founded by Theo Epstein, the general manager who led the Red Sox to their historic 2004 World Series title, and his twin brother Paul. Its best-known events are the Hot Stove Cool Music concerts, which support urban youth, families, nonprofits and college scholars.

The foundation now serves communities in both Boston and Chicago. A central part of its work is a college scholars program, including Gammons Scholars, named for baseball writer Peter Gammons, and Lin Brehmer Scholars. Scholars receive financial support along with mentors, fellow scholars and professional networks, support that recipients credit with keeping them in school and helping them make the most of their education.
