In its 2025–26 cycle, the NFLPA has named six nonprofit organizations as official charitable partners, each working across key areas like youth development, health, military family support, and social justice. This year’s partners include Barbershop Books, Beyond Sport Foundation, Men’s Health Network, Operation Homefront, 4Kira4Moms, and The New Commonwealth Fund.
Each organization will receive a $25,000 grant, along with access to NFL players, events, and fundraising opportunities designed to expand their reach and deepen their community impact.
The initiative reflects the NFLPA’s broader mission to support the communities behind the players. “This is about delivering resources where they are needed most while reflecting the values our players live by every day,” said Executive Director Lloyd Howell.
From promoting literacy among Black boys to addressing maternal health disparities and supporting military families, the selected partners represent a wide range of causes with one common goal: creating lasting change.
More than just funding, the program creates space for collaboration, connecting nonprofits with athletes and platforms that can amplify their work well beyond a single season.
