2022 USAWFL Grant Funding Application for Current Teams

Move United is excited to once again be able to provide funding for the nine current USA Wheelchair Football League teams through the NFL/BWF Salute to Service grant program.

Grants of up to $25,000 per team will be provided to support team needs, including travel, coaching fees, practice facility rentals, equipment or other needs.

Priority will be provided to teams who provide football programming free of charge to Veterans and Members of the Armed Forces with disabilities. Your grant application should show a clear plan for recruitment and inclusion of veterans in your program to justify the expenses requested.
