Impact 59 Powered by Entergy, the official Super Bowl LIX Legacy Grant Program, is designed to provide lasting support for local organizations working in key areas such as economic development, education, workforce training, youth development, health and wellness, and equity and inclusion. The program is committed to creating a meaningful legacy in New Orleans long after the city hosts its record-tying 11th Super Bowl on Feb. 9, 2025.
During the event, the Super Bowl LIX Host Committee, led by the New Orleans Saints and the Greater New Orleans Sports Foundation, and its partner organizations highlighted the importance of giving back to the community through the Host Committee theme of "It's what we do."
"Super Bowl LIX is about more than just a game," said Gayle Benson, owner of the New Orleans Saints and long-time philanthropist. "It's about showing up for our city, supporting our neighbors, and ensuring that we leave a positive, lasting legacy in the community. This program is part of what we do - to create meaningful change and provide lasting resources for the people who call New Orleans home."
The grants awarded through Impact 59 Powered by Entergy have been allocated to nonprofit organizations focused on programs that foster positive change in youth development, workforce training, education, health and wellness, and equity and inclusion. These organizations are receiving critical support for their efforts to improve lives in New Orleans and surrounding areas, including Orleans, Jefferson, St. Bernard, St. Charles, St. James, St. John the Baptist, Plaquemines, St. Tammany, Tangipahoa, and Washington parishes. A grant selection committee carefully reviewed eligibility and compliance and made award determinations based on the need, merit, and potential impact of each project.
"We understand how much Super Bowl LIX means to this community and we're pleased to help give back to New Orleanians who have welcomed us with open arms," said NFL Vice President of Philanthropy and Executive Director of the NFL Foundation Alexia Gallagher. "The NFL Foundation is dedicated to improving the lives of those touched by the game of football. We're proud to work with the Super Bowl LIX Host Committee to provide vital funding through the Legacy Grant Program to dozens of local organizations supporting communities in need throughout New Orleans and Louisiana."
"Super Bowl LIX provides a unique opportunity to make a lasting impact on the host community," said Drew Marsh, Entergy Chair and Chief Executive Officer. "Through Impact 59 Powered by Entergy, we are proud to support local organizations to help them continue their vital work and strengthen our city for years to come."
The announcement of the 65 grant recipients reinforces the New Orleans Super Bowl Host Committee's motto: "It's what we do." Impact 59 Powered by Entergy ensures these local organizations receive much-needed funding and resources, furthering their critical work and fostering long-term change in the community.
"At the end of the day, Super Bowl LIX is much more than just a game," said Jay Cicero, President and CEO of the Greater New Orleans Sports Foundation and the Super Bowl LIX Host Committee. "We're only 59 days away from the opportunity to showcase our city, support our nonprofit community, boost Louisiana's economy, and celebrate our rich culture. We are proud to contribute to this incredible legacy that extends beyond the game and has a positive impact on the people of New Orleans."
Impact 59 is just one of several programs the Host Committee and NFL bring to New Orleans ahead of the big game. NFL Source, a diverse supplier program, launched earlier this year and engaged more than 200 underrepresented businesses in the greater New Orleans Area. Earlier this month, NFL Green and the Host Committee kicked off two sustainability projects in the city, with more to come as we get closer to Feb. 9, 2025.
