Description
The Agility Grants program, administered by the National Council on Problem Gambling (NCPG), is the first national initiative focused exclusively on funding problem gambling prevention. The program aims to empower U.S.-based 501(c)(3) nonprofits to implement or expand prevention programs, particularly targeting youth, student athletes, communities of color, and other populations disproportionately affected by gambling harm. Agility Grants encourage innovation, pilot activities, and the scaling of proven strategies, supporting both new and growing initiatives in communities with limited access to prevention services.
