Youth, middle school and high school football programs can apply now through May 31. Grants are based on need, merit and a program’s commitment to coaching education and best practices, according to a news release from USA Football.
Grants can be redeemed through Riddell, the official helmet and protective equipment partner of USA Football. They range from $500 to $1,500 for youth organizations and $1,000 to $2,500 for high school programs.

We’re proud to help create great football experiences with support from the NFL Foundation.”
