GRASSROOTS GRANTS PROGRAM

In May of 2021, the golf industry collaborated to introduce a new Grassroots Grants Program (GGP) designed to help strengthen the game by making it more inclusive and accessible to all.

​

Facilitated through the American Golf Industry Coalition (a division of the World Golf Foundation), the GGP has awarded 318 grants totaling $3 million to 187 unique organizations since May 2021.

​

PURPOSE & FUNDING PRIORITIES: This Grassroots Grant Program supports charitable organizations that are dedicated to making the sport more accessible and welcoming to all, inviting people from all backgrounds and abilities to engage with golf.
 

Please note: We do not provide grants to organizations: (a) for event sponsorships, (b) brick-and-mortar requests, or (c) that currently receive significant support from leading golf organizations. The Committee provides preference to organizations that have 2025 revenues of $250,000 or less. However, organizations may submit an application if your revenues exceed $250,000.
