Fields and Equipment Programs

NFL Club Matching Youth Football Field/Stadium Grant Program

Through the NFL Club Matching Youth Football Field/Stadium Grant Program, NFL club foundations may apply to the YFF for matching funds of up to $250,000 to either 1) create youth football fields/stadiums at their team facilities to be dedicated solely toward the support and development of youth and high school football; or 2) refurbish community youth and/or high school football fields located in respective team markets. Both NFL Club Matching Grant opportunities help to create a new level of community excitement for the game.

NFL Grassroots Field Grant Program

The NFL Grassroots Field Grant Program provides non-profit, neighborhood-based organizations and high schools with financial and technical assistance to improve the quality, safety and accessibility of football fields in underserved areas of NFL markets. A partnership between the YFF and Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC), the program makes available matching grants up to $200,000 for capital improvement projects including field surface grants and general field support.
