Since the rules were updated, NIL deals have greatly benefited student-athletes. Chase Griffin of the UCLA Bruins, on the other hand, is using the funds to make a difference in the community.

 

The college quarterback announced that he was able to donate over $22,000 in 2022 after launching NIL For Good, an initiative that gives cash donations from each NIL deal to community organizations.

 

 

LA Regional Food Bank Backpack Program, LA Afterschool All-Stars, GoFundMe College Charity Challenge Winner, Be The Match Bone Marrow Registry, Move United, Hutto Education Foundation, Round Rock Serving Center, UCLA Mattel Children’s Hospital, and UCLA Day of Giving were among those who received funding.

 

“This quarter, I’m concentrating my efforts on the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank Backpack Program,” Griffin wrote on LinkedIn.

 

“This program provides meals to LA schoolchildren so that they do not go hungry over the weekend when school meals are not available.”

Griffin became the NIL Summit’s first-ever male athlete of the year in 2022 after garnering endorsements and community service partnerships, according to Sports Illustrated. He has previously worked on advertising campaigns for Degree, Shell, Discord, and Boost Mobile.

 

“This award recognizes male student-athletes who have demonstrated the best use of their Name, Image, and Likeness,” according to NIL Summit. “Judges will look at student-athletes who have best used their NIL across multiple activations, platforms, and campaigns to maximize impact for their partners.”

 

Griffin’s NIL deals, according to the outlet, have also served as charity fundraisers or amplifiers for social justice issues in Los Angeles and other cities.
