Mandate

Established in 1979, Golf Canada Foundation’s mandate is to raise and grant funds for the advancement of golf in Canada. As a registered Canadian Amateur Athletic Association, the Foundation delivers this mandate by awarding scholarships to Canadian student golfers and distributing grants to support initiatives that fall into five key areas:

Junior Golf

Collegiate Golf

Women’s Golf

High Performance Golf

Golf Heritage

Funds are raised annually through major events and the Golf Canada Foundation Trustee Program along with other donation campaigns and initiatives. As a non-profit organization, the Foundation relies on donations as an essential source of revenue.
