A Legacy of Support

In 1977, the Carolinas Golf Foundation was created to establish a qualified charitable organization devoted to providing financial support to Carolinas-based golf initiatives. Soon thereafter, the CGF honed in on an immediate need: Carolina's turfgrass research.

In 1979, the first funding awarded by the CGF ($15,000) was distributed among five different turfgrass groups.

Over time, the CGF continued advancing its mission of "providing access to life-changing opportunities through the game of golf." In addition to turfgrass research, the CGF has donated over $3,987,000 to junior, women's, and adaptive golf programs, and more.

Whether it's witnessing a junior player grow into a successful adult, seeing a disabled veteran thrive through the therapeutic effects of golf, or watching a high school student achieve their dream of attending college, each CGF donor has been touched in some way by the contributions made to these programs.
