GIVING BACK TO COMMUNITIES AND INSTITUTIONS
The NFL Foundation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the lives of those touched by the game of football. The NFL Foundation — in conjunction with the 32 NFL Clubs — supports the health, safety and wellness of athletes across all levels, including youth football and the communities that support the game.
Today, the NFL Foundation supports more than 45 grants. This includes championing the development of youth football through funding support of USA Football, the sport’s national governing body and a member of the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee.
In 2019, the Foundation issued a record number of grants to the charitable endeavors of current players and NFL Legends, clubs and organizations across the country supporting community wellbeing. The Foundation has been at the forefront in responding to natural disasters with financial support and resources for youth and high school football teams and coaches as well as education and fitness curriculum for schools and teachers.
The Foundation also provides multiple grant opportunities to support NFL players and Legends’ philanthropic and community efforts and gives multiple grant opportunities to current players and NFL Legends for these purposes, including the Legends Impact Grant — a new component to the NFL Foundation’s Player Foundation Grant program. This additional funding was provided to the most impactful foundations created by Legends.
