NBA Foundation — Fall 2026 Nonprofit Grants
The NBA Foundation’s Fall 2026 funding cycle is an applicant-facing competitive grant program supporting local and national nonprofit organizations serving under-resourced young people ages 14–24. The foundation’s objective is school-to-career employment opportunities through job readiness, skills training, work placement, career advancement, and economic mobility in NBA team markets.
Applicant eligibility and location
The funder describes grants for nonprofit partners operating programs serving eligible youth in NBA markets. Organizations should confirm their nonprofit status, market/service-area eligibility, and any fiscal-sponsor or affiliation conditions in the official FAQ and application portal. The public webpage includes separate questions concerning organizations outside NBA markets, Canadian organizations, fiscal sponsorship and affiliates; the answers were not fully accessible in the public text reviewed, so this record does not claim universal eligibility.
Funding and restrictions
No binding individual applicant award ceiling is published in the controlling public Fall 2026 grant overview. Applicants must establish the appropriate request amount and any award duration, use-of-funds limitations, matching requirements, and budget eligibility using the funder’s current FAQ and FLUXX instructions. This listing does not substitute the foundation’s aggregate funding for a per-applicant grant.
Deadline and application
The Fall cycle closes October 31, 2026, at 11:59 p.m. PST, using the funder’s stated time-zone wording. Create or access the organization’s account at the official FLUXX grant portal; the account confirmation email link may expire after 48 hours. Complete the requested project proposal and provide an IRS Form 990, current fiscal-year organizational budget, project budget, and board list. Verify all funder instructions before applying.
