Inspire Change | NFL Social Justice Initiative | NFL

The NFL and its teams committed $250 million to social justice causes over a 10 year period. And they've already more than doubled that goal.

The work, however, is only just beginning.

Financial commitments are important, but let's look at how those dollars are actually impacting communities across America.

Progress to $250 Million and Beyond:

Social Justice Grants

Total: More than $82 million

Recipients: Nearly 60 social justice organizations—selected by a joint player-owner social justice working group—focusing on four key areas: education, economic advancement, police-community relations, and criminal justice reform. For a full list of recipient organizations, click here.

The grants have funded organizations that support education, fight poverty, push for criminal justice reform, support better police and community relations, and contribute to economic development.

Team Contributions

Total: More than $477 million

The NFL's 32 teams support change-driven non-profits in their own backyards. These donations come from club owners, team foundations, and player-team matching funds.

NFL Foundation Matching Grants

Total: More than $14 million

The NFL Foundation offers player matching grants to social justice organizations selected by teams and by current and former players. So far, they've awarded more than 2,350 player matching and team social justice grants.

The grants have funded organizations that support education, fight poverty, push for criminal justice reform, support better police and community relations, advocate for racial equality and contribute to economic development.
