Description
The Agility Grants program, funded by the NFL Foundation and administered by the National Council on Problem Gambling (NCPG), is the first national grant initiative dedicated to problem gambling prevention. It supports U.S.-based nonprofits in launching, expanding, or validating innovative prevention programs, with particular emphasis on youth and communities disproportionately affected by gambling harms. The program aims to empower organizations to deliver tailored education and prevention strategies at the local level, amplifying the voices of historically underrepresented groups and addressing gaps in community services.
