The NFL Foundation and Beyond Sport invite you to complete this application form for a grant partnership of up to $50,000 (USD), starting in October 2025 and running through July 2026. We would encourage you to apply for the relevant funding amount to cover your proposed project delivery for 10 months, which may be less than $50,000 USD depending on the size of your organization. 

This grant will support you in building on your existing sport programming and beginning to use flag football (non-contact 5v5 American Football) as a tool to engage young people further. The support from this program will allow chosen organizations to harness the uniqueness of the sport to bring people together in a positive and supportive environment, strengthen their communities and improve the physical and mental health of young people facing inequality. 

Funded projects must combine flag football (non-contact 5v5 American Football) with wraparound support to deepen the impact of the initiative. This support should be tailored to the needs of your community but may include mentoring programs, counseling, educational workshops or support to develop employability skills as examples. 

In addition to the funding, the NFL Foundation and Beyond Sport will work with you to understand any additional training and equipment needs you may have to support the delivery of flag football (non-contact 5v5 American football) as part of this program.  

We are currently only accepting applications from invited organizations in Spain.
