Each week during the regular season, the Community MVP program recognizes one active NFL player who has demonstrated a commitment to making a positive impact in his community. The NFLPA will make a $10,000 donation to the player’s foundation or charity of choice and provide two Delta Private Jets round-trip plane tickets to the player for being named the NFLPA Community MVP.
Community MVPs will be selected by a committee of NFLPA staff. Community MVPs will be announced on Friday of each week in order to gain maximum promotional exposure. Each week’s runner-ups will be recognized by name and with a photo and description of their charity work on the following Monday in a social media post as part of a related campaign called #CommunityMVP Monday.
Players must meet the following criteria to be considered for Community MVP:
- Charitable/community initiative is organized and led by an individual player and/or his foundation (not an NFL team or sponsor-led initiative).
- Player should have a foundation or be active with a specific cause.
- Player should have participated in recent community work or held other recent events.
- The community/charitable initiative should have taken place within the one-week period (Thursday of the preceding week to Wednesday of the current week) before the Community MVP is announced.
- To be considered for a given week, the nomination must be submitted by 9:30 a.m. EST on Wednesday.
If selected as Community MVP, player agrees to:
- Provide 1-2 exclusive quotes about being chosen as MVP
- Photos with captions from the event
- Create an original tweet or share the NFLPA's tweet about being named Community MVP
- Create a short video congratulating the next week's Community MVP
