Description
The National Council on Problem Gambling (NCPG) administers Agility Grants with funding from the NFL via the NFL Foundation. The program supports nonprofits implementing and expanding locally tailored problem gambling prevention education. Funding can launch new activities and pilot programs, validate growing initiatives, or expand proven programming to new audiences. It cannot simply sustain existing activities.
The program prioritizes reducing gambling harm among young people, reaching communities with no previous prevention services, and extending effective but small services to new populations. It also seeks to amplify the voices and leadership of historically underrepresented communities, where gambling harms are often more prevalent. Supported work focuses on people who have not yet gambled or have limited gambling experience, with priority given to those who have not yet gambled—not treatment, recovery, or responsible gambling programming.
