The USA Football Grant Program helps organizations and teams operate their program or improve and enhance the quality of the athlete experience. USA Football is proud to work with partners in the football marketplace to make this happen.
With two grant cycles to help youth football organizations, we’re trying to make using a grant easier.
These grants are meant to help programs grow, improve and sustain their league. This includes equipment for various game types, along with uniforms and apparel packages that fit any budget.

USA Football is a proud partner of the NFL Way To Play Awards. Each week of the NFL Season, the NFL recognizes an NFL Flag youth player, a high school football player and an NFL Player who makes impactful, savvy plays using proper technique.
The winning player's club or school program receives a USA Football equipment or uniform grant in their name and receives award recognition on Good Morning Football. If you know a youth flag player (10-17) or high school tackle player that has demonstrated excellent technique and impacted the outcome of a game or overall season, nominate them through the buttons below.
