Aims/priorities: Founded in 2021, the NFL Foundation UK is the charitable arm of the NFL within the UK. The Foundation aims to tackle inequality and lack of opportunity faced by young people, aged 11-20 in underserved communities across the UK. The NFL Foundation will address these challenges by providing grants, training and equipment to local community organisations, enabling young people to access activities and support that will help them understand and realise their potential.
The NFL Foundation UK and Beyond Sport are inviting you to complete this expression of interest form to be considered for a grant partnership of between £35,000 and £60,000, starting in June 2023 and running through to March 2025. We would encourage you to apply for the relevant funding amount to cover your proposed project delivery for the grant time period, which may be less than £60,000 depending on the size of your organisation.
This grant will support you to build on your existing sport programming and begin to use NFL Flag (non-contact American football) as a tool to further engage young people. The support from this programme will allow chosen organisations to harness the uniqueness of the sport to bring people together in a positive and supportive environment, strengthen our communities and improve the physical and mental health of young people living in Birmingham or the Greater Manchester areas.
Who can apply? Complete the expression of interest form for your eligibility.
