The application window is officially open for phase III of the Grassroots Grants program. A total of $750,000 will be allocated to organizations working to increase golf participation among underrepresented groups (i.e. Black, Latinx, Asian, Indigenous communities, as well as women, LGBTQI+ individuals, veterans, and individuals with disabilities).
To apply, review the grant “eligibility and guidelines” to ensure your program or organization will qualify. Then, click the “Apply Now” button above. Applications will close either on Monday, May 2, or once 100 applications have been received.
As part of the industry-wide Make Golf Your Thing DEI movement, the Grassroots Grants program was developed by the Youth & Adult Player Development work group. The first phase of the program distributed $150,000 to 43 grassroots organizations. In January earlier this year, an additional $150,000 was awarded to another 31 grassroots organizations.
Make Golf Your Thing is a tangible outgrowth of a golf industry-wide focus on diversity, equity and inclusion. With representative voices from all backgrounds, efforts are also underway in the areas of education and skill development, talent acquisition, procurement, human resources, youth and adult player development, and marketing/communications.
