Masters Tournament Foundation Incorporated
The Masters Tournament Foundation page on the official Masters website describes the Masters Tournament Foundation as the charitable arm of the Masters/Augusta National, supporting global golf development (co-founding events like the Asia‑Pacific Amateur, Drive, Chip & Putt, and Latin America Amateur) and making contributions to golf organizations. The foundation is documented in IRS/990 databases (EIN 27-4452110).

Ideal Applicant
Established organizations working to develop the sport of golf (national or regional golf bodies, youth golf programs, tournament-linked charities, or conservation efforts tied to golf) with track records and partner connections that make them visible to the funder.
Good Fit
- • Programs explicitly focused on fostering golf participation or youth golf development
- • Existing partnerships or affiliations with national golf organizations or tournament-linked charities
- • Capacity to manage grants at the program sizes observed (five- and six-figure awards)
- • Geographic presence in states the foundation funds (notably Georgia and Florida)
- • Clear, measurable program outcomes and established organizational capacity
Geography
The funder’s grants in the latest year reached organizations in five different states, so its observed footprint is multi-state even though one state received a majority share of dollars in 2024.
Recipient Variety
In 2024 the foundation made 11 grants to 10 distinct recipients, with six new recipients that year and four recurring grantees across the three-year record, indicating a fairly broad recipient set rather than an extremely small closed circle.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of an open application process is lacking because the foundation states it funds only preselected recipients, yet behavioral data show new organizations have been added to the portfolio (six new in 2024 and five new in 2023); this suggests new entrants can be funded but typically by invitation or selection rather than through a public competitive application.
