About National Association of Police Athletic/Activities League
National Association of Police Athletic/activities League Inc funds chapters that use civic, athletic, recreational, and educational programming to prevent juvenile crime and promote youth development. The recent grant record shows a network-style funder that supports local PAL affiliates rather than a single flagship institution, with multiple awards to chapters in Florida, California, and other states. Among the larger recent awards, Pal- Hollywood (ca) in Hollywood, CA received $97,605 in 2024 for HOLLYWOOD FL PAL 2022, while Pal- Hallandale Beach in Hallandale Beach, FL received $96,481 in 2025 for PAL 2023. The pattern is consistent with the organization’s stated purpose: building relationships among kids, cops, and communities through positive engagement. Recent grants also connect to mentoring and prevention work, including support for Sheriffs Youth Foundation in Los Angeles, CA and Pal- Positivity and Love Mentoring in Corning, CA. Across the grant list, the foundation appears to back chapter-level operations and programming that combine youth development, recreation, and violence prevention.
What National Association of Police Athletic/Activities League Funds
Youth development is central to the foundation’s work. It gave $80,631 to Pal- Martin County in Palm City, FL for PAL 2023 and $62,063 to Pal- Dunn in Dunn, NC for DUN PAL 2022, both chapter-level awards tied to local programming. Mentoring is another clear theme: Sheriffs Youth Foundation in Los Angeles, CA received $68,400 for mentor, and Icenet Pal in Pine Ridge, SD received $45,900 for mentor. The grant list also reflects sports and recreation funding through local PAL affiliates, such as Pal- Memphis Bears Inc (mbi) in Memphis, TN with a $48,116 award for PAL 2023. Prevention work runs through the same portfolio, with chapter grants intended to support civic, athletic, recreational, and educational activities that reduce juvenile crime.
How National Association of Police Athletic/Activities League Gives
Typical grant size sits around $14,338 at the 25th percentile, $21,121 at the median, and $30,619 at the 75th percentile. That distribution suggests many relatively modest awards, alongside a smaller set of larger chapter grants. The recipients shown are local PAL chapters and affiliated youth organizations, which fits a pure DAF provider structure that channels support to member organizations rather than individuals. The recent grant list includes repeated support to the same chapters across multiple years, including several 2022 and 2023 awards to the same affiliates, which points to recurring relationships rather than one-off gifts. National PAL membership also gives chapters access to grants and federal programs, and the organization accepts unsolicited requests through that membership portal.
