The NFL’s Inspire Change program is well on its way to its 10-year goal of contributing $250 million to social justice-focused organizations.
The initiative and the Players Coalition have contributed $180 million to date. The league added four new partner organizations on Thursday, bringing the total to 37.
- In 2017, Inspire Change committed to donate $250 million to organizations focused on education, economic advancement, police-community relations, and criminal justice reform.
- Potential donation recipients are evaluated by a committee led by a mix of current and former players and team owners.
- Inspire Change had reportedly committed over $95 million to various causes as of early January 2021.
