NFL Teams
NFL Charities supports the community initiatives of the 32 NFL teams by providing “team program” grants each year. These funds support the league’s national initiatives with local implementations in team markets.
NFL Giving encompasses the many ways that the National Football League, including its clubs, owners and players, strengthen communities nationwide. While representing our heritage of community commitment and charitable engagement, NFL Giving encourages long-term health and wellness in our communities; fosters community citizenship and philanthropy; advances sports-related medical research and education; and supports the health and well being of our former NFL players.
In addition to League-wide community support programs as well as charitable dollars allocated by the 32 NFL teams and owners to community initiatives nationwide, several non-profit foundations support the NFL Giving initiative including NFL Charities, the NFL Youth Football Fund, NFL Disaster Relief Fund and Player Care Foundation.
