Launched in 2018 with a $1,000,000 Social Justice Fund commitment by the Glazer family and directed by Buccaneers players, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Social Justice Initiative was created to break down barriers to racial and social equality.

Focusing on youth empowerment, police relations, criminal justice reform and workforce development, the initiative supports year-round player efforts dedicated to achieving social justice through purposeful dialogue and impactful programs that effect meaningful, positive change in the community.
