Football is not only the foundation of the league, but also the vehicle through which our teams build lasting connections within communities nationwide. Every week, in-season or not, those communities turn up to support us. In an effort to give back, we respond with the everyday acts of volunteerism and philanthropy by owners, players, coaches, and club personnel. The NFL embraces its role as a unifier, addressing key social issues and serving as a constant force for positive change.

The league, its partners, and all 32 NFL teams are committed to educating the NFL family, instituting transparent league policies, and actively engaging and supporting communities to constructively impact society year-round. Together, we aim to make a positive difference in America's communities and connect with millions of fans each year.

NFL Cause Work

The NFL is committed to being a force for good in the community, helping those who need it most. This year, the NFL and its 32 teams will donate more than $500 million to community impact organizations. To learn more about what the NFL is doing in your community, visit NFL.com/community/.
