LISTEN TO THIS ARTICLE:This funding will drive the NCPG Agility Grant program, which aims to bridge the gap in education and research for underserved communities struggling with problem gambling. Some of the funds will also be allocated towards modernizing and upgrading the 1-800-GAMBLER helpline, ensuring the vital resource remains effective in supporting individuals seeking help with gambling-related issues.
The NFL's latest commitment follows its initial $6.1 million donation to the NCPG three years ago. At that time, it was the largest single contribution the charity had ever received. With its new funding, the NFL has outdone itself and set a new standard for philanthropic support for the organization.
Our partnership with NCPG underscores the vital impact of their work and our ongoing commitment to advocate for and support responsible gambling initiatives. We are proud to leverage our platform and resources with NCPG's expertise to raise awareness, provide education and help prevent problem gambling. We look forward to our continued partnership with NCPG and expanding the reach of their impactful programs.
