The Premier League will contribute £6m to the Football Conference over the next three years.
After making a £1m payment last year, the Premier League will continue the arrangement, with £1.2m in general payments per season to support all 68 Conference clubs plus £800,000 per season put into a separate club development fund.
Premier League chief executive Richard Scudamore said: "The Premier League and our member clubs recognise the importance of the continued health of football outside the Football League and it is with this in mind that we have made this commitment to the Football Conference.
"In particular, we are extremely pleased to be working with the Football Conference to establish a new club development fund that will allow Conference clubs, all extremely important within their local communities, to invest more funds into local youth development and good cause initiatives."
Football Conference chairman Brian Lee added: "This is a further wonderful gesture of friendship from the Premier League towards the Football Conference."
