Global Social Impact

The NFL Foundation is committed to supporting underserved youth globally by enhancing their health, wellbeing and access to opportunities through increasing the number of safe and inclusive physical activity opportunities, reducing physical and mental health inequalities, and addressing the most pressing social needs in NFL global market communities.

The NFL Foundation’s philanthropic support internationally includes:  

·       The creation of its first global impact strategy to help provide a clear focus for how the NFL expands its social impact to other countries. A key component of this global strategy is using flag football as a philanthropic vehicle to drive social impact and support young people in underserved communities in five global market communities including Australia, Brazil, Germany, Ireland and Spain.

·       Matching grant funds to the NFL Foundation UK to help positively shape youngsters’ lives in the United Kingdom with the goal of tackling barriers to opportunity via youth football.

·       Grant funding for NFL club foundations to support the implementation of tailored, impact-focused flag football initiatives and corresponding social impact projects in their respective global home markets that improve the health and wellbeing of local underserved youth.
