Dec. 2, 2025 – The Las Vegas Raiders are providing $170,000 to the Boys & Girls Clubs of Southern Nevada (BGCSNV) through the NFL Foundation – LISC Grassroots Field Grant Program to fund a field refurbishment project at the Reynolds Clubhouse in Henderson, NV. This grant will support the installation of a synthetic turf field at the local center, providing more than 6,000 local youth with access to a safe space to stay active and healthy.
"The Raiders are proud to invest in the health and well-being of Southern Nevada's youth through this field project. This effort builds upon our ongoing partnership with Boys & Girls Clubs of Southern Nevada, where together we've worked to provide opportunities and resources that empower young people to thrive both on and off the field." said Kari Uyehara, Vice President of Philanthropy and Executive Director of the Raiders Foundation.
For more than two decades, the NFL and LISC have partnered to help youth stay active and healthy by creating safe places to play through the development of community football fields. Since the program's inception, over $65 million has been distributed to community organizations and schools across the country, resulting in the creation or refurbishment of more than 450 football fields nationwide.
This year, more than $3 million has been awarded to help fund and refurbish football fields in 16 cities and towns across the country, including Henderson.
"For more than 25 years, the NFL Foundation and LISC have helped our youth stay healthy and have fun by developing community football fields through the Grassroots Field Grant Program," said NFL Vice President of Philanthropy and Executive Director of the NFL Foundation Alexia Gallagher. "The NFL is proud to use its platform to support communities nationwide, and we're excited to continue growing our impact in the years ahead."
Through the Grassroots Field Grant Program, LISC identifies local nonprofit and community-based organizations interested in building or refurbishing football fields in schools and neighborhood parks. Through the program, the local agencies are provided with the necessary financing and technical assistance to improve the quality and safety of fields in their communities. The local agencies oversee the construction, maintenance, and programming of the fields.
The 2025 Grassroots funding cycle will begin on December 15, 2025, and the deadline for proposal submissions is March 30, 2026. Additional details can be found here.
