LAS VEGAS (Dec. 5, 2023) – Today, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and Las Vegas Super Bowl LVIII Host Committee President & CEO Sam Joffray announced the launch of the Super Bowl Legacy Grant program. A partnership between the NFL Foundation, Las Vegas Super Bowl Host Committee Charities and its partners, the Super Bowl Legacy Grant program aims to create positive, lasting impact in the region by committing to invest $3 million into Las Vegas non-profits between now and Super Bowl LVIII.
At least 58 Super Bowl Legacy Grants will be divided across two categories: Pregame Grants, which awarded $1.2 million to immediate, high-impact community initiatives today, and Game Day Grants, a competitive grant opportunity, totaling $1.8 million, to local non-profits. Both categories offer unrestricted funding for projects and programs to permanently improve the lives of Southern Nevadans in the areas of diversity, equity, and inclusion; education; health and wellness; social justice; youth and young adults.
