At this time, please DO NOT apply for this grant if your request is for:

• Football Development: The Raiders are committed to expanding access to youth football, including material support for youth football organizations, high school football teams in the region, and girls flag football programs. To learn more, please click here. Due to the current programs and opportunities offered by the Raiders for football development in the community, these organizations will not be eligible to apply for Raiders Foundation Impact Grants.
• A School: The Raiders organization has an ongoing, larger partnership with Clark County School District (CCSD) and other schools. In 2023, the Raiders Foundation granted over $175,000 to local schools. Due to the Raiders support of schools throughout the year, schools will not be eligible to apply for Raiders Foundation Impact Grants.
