DONATE

 

Ambassador Club

With your gift, you join our community of donors in The Ambassador Club. With your help, we are growing the game by investing in the positive development of our youth.

 

The Legacy Society

The Legacy Society honors those who have arranged a deferred gift to the Foundation utilizing sound estate and retirement planning. They are generous, forward-thinking friends who want to ensure the long-term sustainability of the Foundation. In addition to securing our future, these gifts can benefit donors financially by reducing income and estate taxes and increasing cash flow.

 

Support Girls Golf

Interested in giving to support girls through the game? Help us advance our program opportunities for girls by supporting our five LPGA*USGA Girls Golf chapters and our more than 1,500 annual female participants.

 

Change Makers

Change Makers are a very special group of donors who provide us the certainty that we can continue to make a difference to juniors in our communities through a monthly, reoccurring gift.

Thank you to our partners and all our Ambassadors.
