FOUNDATION PROGRAMS

The Kraft Family and the New England Patriots Foundation are passionate about giving dogs and pets a shot at finding loving homes. The number of pets in shelters in need has reached an all-time high, making adoption more important than ever. The Pawtriots initiative, led by Dr. Dana Kraft, emphasizes adoption as a powerful way to improve lives of animals and make a lasting difference. Teaming up with the local animal shelters across New England, fans can build lifelong bonds with pets who'll be cheering alongside you - win or lose - for seasons to come. When you adopt, you're not just gaining a best friend, you're adding another loyal fan to Patriots Nation.

The Kraft family and New England Patriots Foundation are excited to partner with Bank of America to continue the "Community Captains" program. This charitable initiative was created to build deeper relationships with nonprofits and strengthen the impact on the populations they serve. Over a two-year period, the Patriots Foundation and Bank of America will work closely with six nonprofit organizations, with a goal of establishing a deeper understanding of their community efforts and to help each charity serve their constituents more effectively.

The New England Patriots Foundation is excited to recognize New England high school athletes for their excellence in their respective sports as well as their commitment to their academic performance. This scholarship is meant to provide financial assistance for individuals to pursue an education in a STEM field in their post-high school education.
