THE NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE ALUMNI is a non-profit service organization of former professional football players who work voluntarily on behalf of youth and charity. It was formed as an outgrowth of philanthropic and civic-minded impulses of men who performed at the highest level of the nation's most popular spectator sport and used that experience as a springboard to success in later life.

FOUNDED IN 1967 principally to deal with player welfare issues, the NFL Alumni was reorganized in 1977 as a tax-exempt charitable and educational organization, an IRS approved 501(c)(3) public charity with a network of local chapters across the country. In 2010, the NFL Alumni was re-organized to emphasize the original advocacy mission including the 501(c)(5) status. The national headquarters are in Mount Laurel, New Jersey.

The NFL Alumni has two Boards of Directors; one for the Association and one for the Foundation. There is one chief executive officer for both the Association and the Foundation. THE NFL ALUMNI is a dues-paying membership association. There are five categories of membership that are renewed yearly; Player, Professional, Spouse, Associate and Lifetime.

IN THEIR VOLUNTARY UNDERTAKINGS, members of the NFL Alumni are guided philosophically by the fundamental ideals expressed in their motto: "Caring for Kids".

OBJECTIVES of the NFL Alumni are to render useful public service by raising funds for worthy causes that are youth-oriented or aimed towards alumnus assistance. The primary source of revenue is an annual tour of celebrity golf tournaments. Proceeds are directed to causes selected by host chapters, as well as to national outreaches.

The NFL Alumni fosters youth fitness and safety programs through sports. Central to this mission is a sustained commitment to sponsoring supervised activities where meaningful social interaction can take place between adults and youngsters The idea is to present prominent and successful athletes as role models. After helping children who lack the advantages they once had, the NFL Alumni membership turns to a prime objective–caring for its own.

The Board of Directors seeks to further the aims of the NFL Alumni's founding fathers in two distinct ways:

FIRST, the organization maintains a keen awareness of its distinctive origins as an advocate for the rights of former players. As a result, the NFL Alumni encourages and promotes increased benefits for retired players.

SECOND, the NFL Alumni continues to support those organizations and projects which offer special promise of advancing the quality of life in communities where Alumni chapters are located. The intent is to expand each chapter's outreach into the community through year­ revenue is an annual tour of celebrity golf tournaments. Proceeds are directed to causes other charitable organizations.
