National Council on Problem Gambling invites applications for Agility Grant initiative | RFPs

The National Council on Problem Gambling (NCPG) is the only national nonprofit organization that seeks to minimize the economic and social costs associated with gambling addiction.

NCPG invites applications for its Agility Grant initiative, funded by the NFL via the NFL Foundation with additional support from FanDuel. The program provides funding to U.S. nonprofits to implement and expand problem gambling prevention programs. Grants should focus on two strategic priorities: prevention innovation and prevention amplification. Prevention innovation focuses on the development, deployment, research, and evaluation of problem gambling prevention programs and curricula. Prevention amplification aims to promote new thought leaders and platforms to educate communities about problem gambling, with priority on youth and leaders of color. Grants should target projects reaching populations at higher risk of developing a gambling problem, including middle school, high school, and college students and athletes; Black, Hispanic, Native American, Asian, and other communities of color; and communities disproportionately affected by problem gambling. Grant awards will range from $20,000 to $40,000.

To be eligible, applicants must be tax-exempt as defined by section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Newly designated 501(c)(3) organizations will be considered as long as they have documentation showing their accepted 501(c)(3) status. NCPG membership is not required to submit an application.
