The NFL’s expanded partnership with the Players Coalition is not only a significant financial commitment, but also a powerful statement of the league’s commitment to social justice.
The partnership is a testament to the NFL’s dedication to creating a more equitable future for all, and to the Players Coalition’s mission of driving systemic change through education and advocacy.
The $15 million grant from the NFL will be used to support the Players Coalition’s ongoing efforts to influence legislation and policy around racial and social justice issues.
The funds will allow the Players Coalition to continue its important work in building awareness, educating the public, and advocating for reform across the country.
Commenting on the partnership, Players Coalition co-founder, Anquan Boldin, said: “We’re incredibly grateful for the NFL’s continued support of our work.”
“This funding will allow us to continue to make an impact on social justice and racial equity at the federal, state, and local levels.
“We’re excited to continue working with the NFL to drive systemic change and create a more equitable future for all,” Boldin said.
Players Coalition co-founder, Malcolm Jenkins, added: “We’re proud to partner with the NFL on this important work.”
“We’re committed to using our platform to drive meaningful change and to be a force for positive change in our communities.
“We’re grateful for the NFL’s continued support and we look forward to working together to create a more equitable future for all,” he said.
The announcement comes after the NFL Foundation awarded a US$3 million grant to grassroots fields.
