For the second year in a row, the Buffalo Bills contributed more than $3.6 million to support the social, educational, and economic health of Buffalo and Western New York as a part of the Community Benefits Agreement ("CBA") among the Bills, Erie County, and the Erie County Stadium Corporation. This marks year two of the agreement, and the Bills have now invested more than $7.2 million in the community through fiscal years 2023 and 2024.

The CBA is a focused part of the overall commitment that the Bills make in the community, but our support extends far beyond the CBA. For years, the Bills Foundation and our Community Impact department's outreach efforts have had a profound impact in Western New York. Our players, through numerous contributions, consistently give back to our community.

The CBA seeks to ensure participation by all segments of the local community in the economic opportunities available in connection with the design, construction, maintenance, and operation of new Highmark Stadium, currently under construction and scheduled to open its doors to fans for the 2026 NFL season.

Under the CBA, the Buffalo Bills have firmly committed to the community. The Bills will make an annual Community Investment of approximately $3 million to support the social, educational, and economic health of Buffalo and Western New York. The 33-plus-year commitment will exceed $140 million in furthering these efforts.

"On behalf of the Pegula family, the Buffalo Bills, and the Bills Foundation, we wholeheartedly thank each of you for your unwavering commitment to ensuring that Buffalo not only thrives but continues to grow stronger." - Buffalo Bills COO Pete Guelli

In 2024, the Bills' Community Investment totaled $3,609,228, which included $1,935,954 for Community and Civic Programs, $975,836 for Economic Development, and $697,437 for Youth and Education. Of the total community investment, $1,263,542 was in-kind support. The in-kind total includes donated items, tickets, and donated experiences and events.

The Bills wish to thank everyone who continues to meet the needs of those who live in Western New York.
