New for this season, the NFL established an award called the "Inspire Change Changemaker Award". During the season, each club selected a "changemaker," an individual (or group of individuals) making a difference in their community with their social justice work, either individually or as part of a non-profit organization.​
Each club will provide their Changemaker with a $10,000 donation from the NFL Foundation, paid to the social justice non-profit of their choice. Changemakers will also receive special recognition at each club's Inspire Change home game.
