What is National Nonprofit Day?

National Nonprofit Day is a day dedicated to amplifying the voices and efforts of those working to make a difference in society, and to encourage others to contribute to these important causes. It serves as a reminder of the crucial role that nonprofit organizations play in our communities and beyond.

Why Is National Nonprofit Day Relevant to PFRPA?

PFRPA oversees the Greater Good Fund, its 501(c)(3) charitable foundation, which is specifically designed to develop health, welfare and educational programs for retired NFL players. Today, we offer retired players dental and vision insurance. We strive to ensure that the thousands of players we serve have access to and are aware of the resources available to them.

As a champion for retired NFL players, PFRPA’s mission is to better the lives of those who gave so much to the game. After hanging up their cleats, life after football varies for every player. We strongly believe that each player, no matter what their position or how long they played, should receive some level of support. We're passionate about our members, and that's what drives us to tackle issues that matter to them.

Where Does a Donation to PFRPA’s Greater Good Fund Go?

Through the Greater Good Fund, tax-deductible donations of any amount will assist in providing retired NFL players with impactful benefits, including dental and vision care, as well as supporting programs to ensure their legacy is preserved.
