Super Bowl LIX Legacy Grant Program: $3M for Greater New Orleans Nonprofits

The New Orleans Super Bowl LIX Host Committee, Entergy, New Orleans Saints, and NFL Foundation have announced a plan to give at least $3 million to Greater New Orleans nonprofits by the end of 2024.

“Impact 59 Powered by Entergy," is an official Super Bowl LIX legacy grant program. It is designed to make a positive impact even after New Orleans has hosted their record-tying 11th Super Bowl on Sunday, February 9th, 2025. The event will take place in Caesars Superdome.

New Orleans Saints and Pelicans owner Gayle Benson said, "Hosting and executing an incredible game is just one aspect of our responsibility. Equally important is our commitment to supporting our community and creating a lasting positive impact.”

The program’s funding will be awarded to organizations that focus on youth development, workforce training, education, health, and equity and inclusion. Nonprofit organizations selected must be located in Orleans, Jefferson, St. Bernard, St. Charles, St. James, St. John the Baptist, Plaquemines, St. Tammany, Tangipahoa and Washington parishes.

Later this year, a grant selection committee will review eligibility and compliance of applications, select award recipients and make award determinations.

Applications must be turned in by August 23rd. For more information, visit Legacy Grant Program - New Orleans: Host of Super Bowl LIX
