The '''NFL Foundation''' is a non-profit organization established by the [[National Football League]] (NFL) in 1973. Its primary goal is to support the health, safety, and wellness of athletes, youth football, and the communities that support the game.

==History==
The NFL Foundation was originally founded as the NFL Charities in 1973, evolving over the decades to expand its mission and outreach. It was rebranded as the NFL Foundation in 2012 to better reflect its broader commitment to philanthropy at all levels of football and within the communities that support the sport.

==Mission and Programs==
The mission of the NFL Foundation is to promote the health and safety of sports participants and to enhance the lives of individuals touched by the game of football. The foundation runs several key programs including:

* '''Play 60''': Launched in 2007, this program is designed to encourage kids to be active for 60 minutes a day in order to help reverse the trend of childhood obesity.
* '''Heads Up Football''': A program aimed at ensuring the football is played safely by educating coaches and players on proper techniques and safety measures.
* '''Grants''': The foundation provides grants to various organizations. These grants support initiatives related to health, safety, and community outreach programs.

==Impact==
The NFL Foundation has made significant impacts through its various initiatives, particularly in promoting youth sports and community health programs. It has also been instrumental in funding research and development in sports-related injuries and their prevention.

==Leadership==
The foundation is chaired by Charlotte Jones Anderson, who is also the Executive Vice President and Chief Brand Officer of the [[Dallas Cowboys]]. The foundation's efforts are supported by the NFL's commissioner and other key stakeholders within the league.

==Controversies==
While the NFL Foundation has been largely praised for its community and health initiatives, the NFL has faced criticism over issues not directly related to the foundation's work, such as player safety and concussion protocols within the league itself.
