Ideal Applicant
A small to mid-sized nonprofit focused on youth golf, high-school athletics, scholarships, or local youth development—preferably with a California presence or partners in the Bay Area.
Good Fit
- • Programs supporting high-school golf teams or junior golf academies.
- • Scholarship administration or partnership capacity (scholarship requests are referenced).
- • Clear local/California footprint or demonstrated program delivery in the Bay Area.
- • Able to receive and use mid-sized grants ($5K–$52K range seen).
- • Willingness to engage directly and provide program impact details to a foundation contact.
Geography
Grants were paid to recipients in three states, but the majority of dollars (about 72%) were directed to organizations in California, indicating a regional focus with some out-of-state giving.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows seven distinct grantees with six new recipients that year and only one returning grantee across the two-year window, which points to a fairly broad and changing recipient set for a small foundation despite dollar concentration in a few larger awards.
New Applicants
Behavioral evidence supports access for new entrants—six new recipients appeared in the most recent year and only one repeating grantee was observed across two years—though no formal application process is published on the site.
