The NFL Foundation, established from the consolidation of NFL Charities and the NFL Youth Football Fund, continues the NFL's tradition of giving back by supporting charitable and worthwhile causes on a national scale. Emphasizing the promotion of youth football, positive youth development, and the future health of the sport, the foundation aims to make more efficient and impactful grants to support community wellbeing, aligning with its history of philanthropy that has granted over $148 million to various organizations.
The NFL Foundation's Digital Divide Program aims to address the increasing necessity for computer and internet access for full participation in economic, political, and social aspects of life globally. Recognizing that not everyone has equal access to such technology, the program provides grants to NFL Clubs. These clubs work with local nonprofits to help bridge the digital divide in their communities, ensuring broader access to essential digital tools and services. This initiative supports the foundation's broader mission to benefit community wellbeing through strategic charitable endeavors and grants.
