The National Council on Problem Gambling (NCPG) has awarded $192,000 in agility grant funding to five organizations as part of the spring 2025 cycle, which also represents the seventh funding round since the program first launched during 2022.
“Investing in community-driven programs is key to effective prevention,” NCPG Director of Programs Jaime Costello said.
“The projects supported by agility grant funding reflect a commitment to building practical, scalable solutions that resonate with the people they serve.”
The grants, which are made possible with funding from the NFL Foundation and FanDuel, support the development and expansion of problem gambling prevention initiatives tailored to meet the specific needs of diverse communities. Since its inception, the program has awarded grants to organizations in 21 states, reaching more than 450,000 individuals over three years of operation.
For the spring 2025 cycle, grants were awarded to organizations such as Artreach, which uses its Beyond the Bet program to raise awareness, explore the complexities of gambling harm and engage audiences in meaningful conversations about problem gambling prevention.
The Lao Assistance Center of Minnesota and Nicos Chinese Health Coalition also received grants from NCPG, helping to expand gambling harm prevention methods in the Minnesota and San Francisco areas.
