Washington, DC – <\/strong>The National Council on Problem Gambling (NCPG) is pleased to announce the recipients of the Spring 2024 Agility Grants. In this round, $322,250 in funding will be granted to nine organizations to support programs dedicated to advancing problem gambling prevention. Today\u2019s announcement marks the fifth funding round since the program was launched in January 2022.<\/p>\n The Agility Grants program is the first nationwide grant initiative dedicated to providing financial support for problem gambling prevention. Agility Grants offer a platform for organizations to pioneer new approaches, foster cross-sector partnerships, and amplify innovative solutions. Through these investments, recipients are empowered to develop problem gambling programs that not only tackle current challenges but also redefine traditional prevention strategies, creating solutions tailored to the diverse needs of local communities. By providing targeted support, Agility Grants aim to fill gaps in problem gambling prevention programming across the United States.<\/p>\n Spring 2024 Agility Grant funding will support the following projects:<\/strong><\/p>\n Keith Whyte, Executive Director of the National Council on Problem Gambling, said, \u201cEmpowering organizations to address problem gambling in ways that resonate with their unique communities is a key goal of this program. Agility Grant funding provides vital support at the local level, allowing nonprofits to tailor their efforts to the specific needs of the audiences they serve, ultimately fostering more effective and impactful prevention education.”<\/p>\n The success and impact of the NCPG Agility Grants Program are made possible through the generous support of NCPG\u2019s valued partners. The program was founded through a multimillion-dollar, multi-year commitment from the NFL via the NFL Foundation as part of the League\u2019s responsible betting public awareness campaign. Playtech, a leader in the global gambling industry, provides significant support, aligning its commitment with our mission to create a safer environment free from the harms of problem gambling. FanDuel and GeoComply contributed additional funding, enhancing the Agility Grants program’s capacity and reach.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re proud to support the National Council on Problem Gambling in their mission to promote awareness and provide education around the pitfalls associated with gambling addiction,” said NFL Senior Vice President of Social Responsibility Anna Isaacson. \u201cAs legalized sports betting continues to spread across the United States, these Agility Grants will provide much needed resources to organizations dedicated to problem gambling prevention.\u201d<\/p>\n Agility Grants are awarded through two funding rounds each year. The Fall 2024 funding round will be open for applications from July 10 to August 21, 2024, with awards announced in October 2024.
