Got Her Back and Riddell Sports Launch 4th Cycle of the "Keep HER In The Game" Grant

​In partnership with the Women's National Football Conference (WNFC), made possible by the generous donations by Riddell Sports, Got Her Back is proud to announce the opening of Cycle 4 of the "Keep Her In The Game Hardship Fund". 

​

At Got Her Back, we are focused on keeping HER in the game. The "Keep Her In The Game" grant program supplies helmets, cleats, shoulder pads, and other critical equipment required for safe gameplay to female football players who are experiencing a major financial hardship.​

​

As participation in tackle and flag football continues its immense growth, Got Her Back is excited to announce the continued expansion of the “Keep Her in the Game” grant. The 2023 grant cycle expanded to school-age, college, and adult women’s female football players in both flag and tackle worldwide. This widespread eligibility will continue for the fourth cycle in 2025.

​

“Through Riddell’s support of the ‘Keep Her in the Game Hardship Fund,’ we ensure advanced helmet technology and protective equipment is accessible to these deserving women as they pursue their dream of playing professional football,” said Erin Griffin, Vice President of Marketing and Communications for Riddell. “While the challenges each athlete faces are unique, their collective commitment to the game of football is powerful. Riddell is looking forward to following their journey in the WNFC this season and beyond.”

​

The Keep Her in the Game Grant is now accepting applications HERE. The two-week application window for this grant cycle will be open from November 22, 2025 to December 6, 2025.
