Mission Statement
The Boston Athletic Association, committed to encouraging
and promoting fitness through athletics, has developed a program
with the Boston Marathon and charitable organizations in the
Boston area. The B.A.A. assists these charitable organizations
by providing guaranteed entries for their organization’s
fund raising purposes and, in the spirit of charity, encourages
all qualified runners to aid in these efforts.
About the Program
The B.A.A. accepts a limited number of new organizations
each year, each to receive 15 waivers per year for a period
for up to three years. These entries do not require a qualifying
time but do require that runners acknowledge that they can
complete a marathon within 6 hours and will abide by all other
B.A.A. rules and regulations.
Though all 501 (c) 3 organizations located in the Greater Boston Area are encouraged to apply, strong consideration will be given to those who's own mission is to promote fitness through athletics and those who offer youth development programs. It is solely at the discretion of the B.A.A. as to the selection criteria and ultimate number of charities chosen or entries given.
How to Apply
Organizations who are located in the Greater Boston area will be considered for the B.A.A. Charity Program. Charities without a New England office need not apply. Applications
are traditionally available online during the month of June.
In addition to completing the online application, organizations
are required to provide the following financial documents:
501 (c) 3 letter
IRS Form 990
Recent Audit Report
