United States Golf Association Offers Grants to Make Golf More Affordable and Accessible

Deadline: July 6, 2007

Through its ongoing "For the Good of the Game" Grants Program, the United States Golf Association (<a href="http://www.usga.org/">http://www.usga.org/</a>) supports organizations that introduce the game to people who would otherwise not have the opportunity to play. This annual initiative focuses on positively impacting young people (minorities, girls, the economically disadvantaged, and others with limited access to the game of golf) and individuals with disabilities through instructional programming and golf facility construction projects, as well as caddie and other work-based programs.

The USGA will consider funding requests for the following items provided the applicant is committed to the goals of the grants program and its target population(s): course and practice range access; golf instruction; golf equipment, including adaptive golf equipment for individuals with disabilities; transportation provided for participants to attend programming; and certain construction costs for alternative, beginner-friendly golf courses and golf facilities in areas where there are obstacles to affordable access to the game.

The amount and duration of grants awarded vary greatly based on the type of organization, proposal, and needs specified.

All grant recipients must be tax-exempt, nonprofit 501(c)(3) organizations or government entities such as schools or municipalities.

Visit the USGA Web site for complete program information, examples of funded projects, and application materials.
