Our story

The National Football Foundation & College Hall of Fame, Inc. (NFF) is a member-supported, non-profit organization dedicated to ensuring the future of amateur football at the local, state, and national levels. Since its beginnings in 1947, the NFF has relied upon the support of volunteers to bring its mission and goals to communities all across the nation. Today, the NFF chapter system reaches 5,000 high schools and over 500,000 high school football players through 120 chapters around the country.

There is no prerequisite football experience required to become a member; in fact, many of our members never even played organized football. Our membership base includes nearly every profession, race, religion and creed. Our members share one common bond: their love for amateur football and the leadership qualities it develops.

Membership

Today, our current membership base tops 12,000 - and we are growing. As membership increases, so does the overall strength of the Foundation. Your support helps widen our span of influence, allowing the Foundation to expand its positive effects on the game, our communities and our young people.

The mission of the Foundation and our members, simply stated, is to ensure and promote the future of amateur football. If you are not already a member, or if you have been a member in the past, we hope you will join in our effort to see this mission through.
