Golf Industry Stakeholders are reminded that Phase Two of the Grassroots Grants Program application deadline is Monday, November 8. According to the WE ARE GOLF Youth & Adult Player Development Work Group, overseen by World Golf Foundation:
“We’ve received a great response to Phase Two of the Grassroots Grants Program that has been made available as a part of the industry-wide Make Golf Your Thing efforts.”
The Make Golf Your Thing Grassroots Grants program pushes a message of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion and the Phase Two program initially opened for applications on October 8, 2021. The program supports organizations and groups dedicated to increasing participation among underrepresented populations in the sport, including minorities, women, LGBTQ+ individuals, veterans, and those with disabilities.
Phase I of the Grassroots Grants Program opened on May 9, 2021, and is completed with 43 organizations across the U.S. being awarded a total of $150,000. A listing of those organizations selected to receive funding may be found HERE.
More information on the program, funding, and eligibility can be found by visiting the Grassroots Grants Program landing page on the WE ARE GOLF website. Any questions may be directed to grassrootsgrants@worldgolffoundation.org.
