NFL Flag has a new program for financial assistance to needy families called NFL Flag fund. Any NFL Flag participant that meets the following criteria can apply:
- Annual household income less than the current national average ($74,580)
- Participant receives free or reduced lunch
- Is not already registered in the league
Each awarded participant will receive a flat fee of $75 towards their registration fees. Any additional costs are the responsibility of the participant. The application link for the NFL Flag fund is:

then you will want to select individual application button. It takes a couple of weeks to process an application so apply early to receive the funding in time to register.
Another option is Every Kid Sports which will pay even more but they do run out of funds quickly. The Fall 2024 Every Kid Sports Pass will open on July 23rd at 1:00 PM. Here is the link:
