Inspire Change Changemaker Award
This year, the NFL established a new award called the Inspire Change Changemaker Award. Each NFL team selected a "changemaker", an individual who is making a difference in their community with their social justice work, either individually or as part of a non-profit organization.
Each local Inspire Change Changemaker will receive a $10,000 donation from the NFL Foundation, paid directly to the non-profit organization of their choice. Changemakers will also receive special recognition at each team's Inspire Change game during Week 15 or 16.
