Major League Baseball Charities
Major League Baseball Charities, Inc. (“MLBC”) retains full discretion and control over the allocation and use of all donated funds. Once a donation has been processed, it becomes the property of MLBC, and MLBC has exclusive legal control over the donated funds. MLBC may make distributions of such donated funds to other exempt organizations described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. In certain situations, MLBC cannot grant the donation to the charity that you have requested. If MLBC cannot grant the donation to the charity that you have requested, MLBC may, in its sole discretion, select an alternate recipient charity.
